Terry Smith Ortiz - September 27, 2006
One-time Geologist Found Gold in Teaching
Like the rock formations she once studied as a geologist, Terri Ortiz, 50, was a considered a "rare find" as a teacher by her colleagues.
"She's just a great resource," said June Pederson, principal of Daniel Fernandez Intermediate School, where Ortiz taught sixth grade. "She was just a really good person who loved teaching and students. Her students knew how much she loved them."
Ortiz died Sept. 27 after a yearlong bout with cancer. She is survived by her husband, Steve Ortiz, a technical manager at Sandia Nationla Laboratories in Albuquerque, and two sons, Evan Tyler, 21, a senior at the University of Arizona, and Benjamin Garrett, 19, a sophomore at the University of New Mexico.
