Surrounded by close family, Terrie M. Winograd of Acton, Massachusetts died peacefully on April 21, 2025 at the age of 74. She is survived by her husband Mark, her children Joshua and Leah, their spouses, Catherine and Nicholas, as well as her grandchildren Julian, Roslyn, and Solomon.

Born in the Bronx, raised in Westchester, Terrie always had a soft spot for New York City. After high school, she went to University of Buffalo, then worked in Vista, before moving to Cambridge, Massachusetts and getting her Masters degree at Massachusetts College of Art and Design. Set up by a mutual friend, Terrie married Mark and built a life of fifty years together in Acton, Massachusetts alongside her in-laws.

For Terrie, there was nothing greater in life than her family — the whole family, including all the distant, extended family. She was known for making great feasts, but most of all, for making great feasts of dessert. She was a baker who crafted intricate cakes, a locally famous banana bread, and more cookies than you could ever imagine. Though nothing gave her greater joy than the hours she spent on the grandkids’ birthday cakes — from a race car cake, to a rainbow, sparkle, unicorn, princess cake, her happiness was always in the awe on her grandchildren’s faces.

If Terrie wasn’t hosting at her home in Acton, she was hosting down in Bradenton, FL where she loved to winter with her husband. She loved her toes in the sand of Coquina beach during the day and friends over at night for a smattering of always too much food. Even as she bravely battled pancreatic cancer, even in her final months and weeks, she made sure that where she was, her friends and family were there too with a feast.

Terrie will be remembered for her warm and loving spirit as a friend, a wife, a mom, and a grandmama. In her honor, a funeral will be held at Congregation Beth Elohim 133 Prospect St., Acton, MA  on April 23, 2025 at 11:30 AM.

Shiva will be observed at the family residence, Wednesday, April 23, 2025 from 5-7 pm, with Minyan at 6 pm.

Donations in Terrie’s honor may be made to the ACLU or Household Goods.
