On Thursday, August 27, 2026, Terry Lee Watson passed away suddenly following a brief battle with colon cancer. Even while battling cancer, she continued to strengthen her faith and maintain a positive attitude. She was born December 12, 1960.
She was born in Pennsylvania, but made Morgantown her home. She was a graduate of University High and Fairmont State College.
Terry loved playing softball and spending time with her furrbabies, family and friends. She moved to Savannah, Ga. briefly but found she was missing the Mountain State, returning home to Morgantown late last year. Terry left an impression on everyone she met, but her true friendships were lifelong.
She spent the majority of her working life in banking, moving up from teller at First National Bank (Huntington Bank) until finally settling into the role of commercial loan reviewer with United Bank. She respected and cared for her banking family.
Terry enjoyed attending Rehoboth Fellowship Church in Osage, where she cared for her prayer family deeply.
Terry is survived by her "Partner in Crime" and beloved, Valerie Walker of Morgantown; four sisters: Sharon McDowell and Deb Robuck, both of Pennsylvania; Cathy Orban (John) of Fort Martin; and Kim Watson of Morgantown; three brothers, Scott Watson, Allan Watson and David Watson, all of Morgantown; and several nieces and nephews.
Terry was preceded in death by her father, Walter Watson and mother, Lillian Watson; sister, Cindy Watson; niece, Jennifer Moore; and nephew, JC Orban.
