Greta Anderson Terricciano Obituary (1930 - 2022)

Greta Anderson Terricciano, 92, of Okatie, SC, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, October 12, 2022. Wife to the late John Anthony Terricciano, Greta is survived by three sons and their spouses, Paul and Patricia, John and Patricia, and Alan and Lisa Terricciano. In addition to her three grandchildren, Carl, David, and Anthony, Greta was an adored aunt to several nieces and nephews. Greta was born to Lage and Karen Johanson Anderson in Bridgeport, Connecticut, on July 21, 1930. Greta lived a wonderful life. A loving companion for John for the 68 years of their marriage, she was a devoted mother and doting grandmother. She worked hard throughout her life, raising her family and in her employment as a data analyst, but she always had time to attend to others. Greta always took good care for herself and was a wonderful daughter to her own parents. She truly embraced life to its fullest and she remains an ideal role model for her family. Naturally outgoing and social, she built and kept lasting friendships throughout her life in Connecticut and over the last thirty years in South Carolina. She cherished her Callawassie Island community very much, enjoying their great good humor, thoughtful attention to one another, and celebratory approach to life. She invested her time into the community through service on several Callawassie boards and committees and she spent several years volunteering as a reading tutor in the local school systems. Her family wishes to express their deepest gratitude to her friends and neighbors on the island, especially in these last few years, for how they invested so much effort into her well-being, her health and her happiness. Thank you. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. Anderson Funeral Home and Crematory is assisting the family.
