Terriana Allison Paulk

Terriana Allison Paulk, 18, a lifelong resident of Cape Coral, FL, passed away Tuesday, July 11, 2023 in Cape Coral. She was born February 21, 2005 in St. Petersburg, FL.

Terriana was kind, humble, smart, determined and mature beyond her years. She had a heart bigger than herself, always wanting to help others in any way that she could. If she saw someone in need she would give them her last dollar and shirt off of her back. Despite all of her medical struggles that caused her to miss school, Terriana was determined to graduate on time with all of her credits and with her determination that's exactly what she did. She had so many talents, she was extremely creative and loved to paint, her voice was beyond amazing and she sang everywhere she went, but nothing compared to her love for reading. If you ever looked for her, you could go right to her room to find her deep into a book. Terriana’s love for her family and friends was the greatest of all. Nothing meant more to her than her relationships with her loved ones. There is no doubt that Terriana knew that she was extremely loved and all who loved her were extremely proud of her. Terriana Allison, you will be incredibly missed by us all.

She is survived by her loving mother, Therese Friga (Mark) of Cape Coral; maternal grandparents, Thomas and Deborah Menefee of Port Charlotte, FL; maternal great grandmother, Jean Moore of Port Charlotte; dogs, Luci, Cocoa, Tonka, Tika, and Lola; as well as Tinker, the cat.
