It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Teresa Joyce Silverman, aka Terri. Terri left us peacefully on March 28th, 2026, from complications related to cancer. She was 83 years of age. Terri was born July 25th, 1942, in Manhattan, NY, to David and Mildred Silverman. Terri lived in North Palm Beach, FL at her time of death, but her heart belonged to her hometown in Rye, NY, where she resided for over 65 years.
Attending both Rye Middle and High School, Terri’s parents owned and operated The Rye Sweet Shop, where now stands Bare Burger. Terri had a tree planted there 35 years ago with a dedication plaque to her parents. Terri was a leading member of the Rye community, working as the manager of the Rye Golf Club for over 20 years. She was a large part of upholding the arts in Rye, participating in the community playhouse as both a player and costume design. Terri is remembered as being a dedicated mother to Tracianne DeVico Fiore (husband Michael Fiore) of Rye, NY, as well as a very devoted Mimi to her granddaughter, Gabriella Gomez, of Rye NY and Aunt to April Silverman of Brooklyn, NY. Terri is remembered by friends and family as the life of the party, with a mic in hand ready to sing any Broadway or Barbara Streisand song.
Terri is preceded in death by her father, David Silverman, mother Mildred Silverman, and brother Joseph Silverman. A memorial service will take place at Graham Funeral Home, Rye NY on Saturday May 16th from 4-7pm.
