Terry was born on October 23, 1959, in Dumas, Texas, to Paul Spruell and Jewel Rita Cowdrey. He grew up with deep Texas roots and graduated from Dumas High School in 1978, a milestone that marked the beginning of a life shaped by hard work, service, and the pursuits he loved most.

Terry worked for Contel and Valor Telephone Company, building a career through dedication and steady effort. He later went to work for Hutchinson County as a jailer where until retirement. He also gave generously of himself in public service.
