Terilynn Marie Folchert joined the Kingdom of Heaven on May 23, 2025. Born on April 30, 1960 to parents Irene Dlabaj Prachyl and Jerry Prachyl of Ennis, TX, she was a graduate of St. John High School and made her living working in telecommunications at AT&T and ACS in Dallas.

On June 1, 1979, Terilynn married Dan Cepak and shared over 20 years together. They have 3 wonderful children, Courtney Cepak, Brittany Cepak and Zachary Cepak, and made their home in Ennis TX. They enjoyed family vacations every summer by the coast and share 3 grandchildren.

In 2008, Terilynn met Mark Folchert. They married on August 6, 2011 and made their home in Arlington, TX. Together, with their love of golf and adventure, they traveled the world with friends and family. They especially loved going to beaches, on cruises, and playing golf together on some of the most beautiful courses around the globe. Terilynn retired in 2018 and spent as much time with her grandchildren as possible.

Terilynn fought long and hard against her battle with MS and cancer. In 2017, she was diagnosed with lymphoma, and in 2018 she was diagnosed with Leukemia followed by a bone marrow transplant in March of 2018. Terilynn was in remission until January 2024 when the lymphoma returned and was again considered cancer free by March. In July 2024, the lymphoma returned and she had a Car-T transplant in October 2024. Through all the chemotherapy, complications, and harsh recovery process, Terilynn never wavered from her faith in God and didn't let her issues stop her from continuing to enjoy life.
