May 12, 1950 – June 4, 2021
Terry Lynn Vestrand (Terra) was born on May 12, 1950 to Charles and Margaret Vestrand in Detroit, Michigan. At the urging of his friend and fellow singer Scott MacCracken of Detroit, Terra moved to Aspen, Colorado in 1976. Terra’s sultry alto voice found her niche in nightclubs when she performed at Crystal Palace during the golden era of the 1970s-1980s, where she made lifelong friends until she moved to California in 2019.
Terra’s life was her family and friends; Music (The Crystal Palace Dinner Theater, The Mood Elevators, Dickens Carolers, Aspen Community Theater, Hudson Reed Ensemble), food (Savoir Fare Caterers, Street Food, Maroon Creek Club); and travel (Morocco, Italy, Spain, Mexico and USA).
Terra left this earthly sphere on June 4, 2021, with her fiancé Jimmy Aikin and her brother Tim Vestrand by her side in Los Angeles. She leaves behind brother Tim (Carrie) and step-nephew Michael Miknyocki. Her parents and siblings Patricia (Patty) and Charles (Chuck) Vestrand preceded her in death. We will miss her excellent voice, her culinary art and her sense of humor very much.
A celebration of life will take place at a later date.
