During the field naming event in honor of Nick Saban three weeks ago, Miss Terry appreciated everyone at Alabama for the support offered during their tenure. Saban led the Crimson Tide for 17 years with his wife playing a pivotal role in his success.

“Thank each and every one of you for coming here today,” Miss Terry said. It means so much to us. Our family is excited and grateful for this historic honor. The past 17 years haven’t felt like work. Rather it has felt like teamwork."

“Players, coaches, staff, and our incredible fans have made it happen. I just hope we can continue supporting Alabama, supporting children, students, teachers and education through the football platform as well as our Nick’s Kids Foundation. Thank you again, and Roll Tide.”

Miss Terry was an influential figure in Alabama during the era of Nick Saban. She had a lot of inside roles that ensured the program was being run properly and aimed towards success. Her effort in ensuring her husband's success made her a beloved figure among the Tuscaloosa fanbase.
