Terri Jean Sweeting-Mashkow

I will miss you forever my friend. From the day we met when you held baby Kaine at the baseball field to helping Jocelyn when she got hit with the ball to talking picking up the kids at school to passing each other in the mornings. This is so not right. You should’ve here with us all. I love you forever my friend. Fly high and keep protecting us because that was you. Till we meet again my friend ️♥️

Oh, sweet Terri. Many knew you only in your uniform, and for those who met you with your caring disposition and comforting words, that alone was enough to leave a lasting impression. But those who knew you beyond the badge saw even more — a loving mother, a devoted sister, a beautiful bride, and a daughter deeply cherished.

Every part of you will be missed. The world was truly a better place with you in it. Rest well, Terri, knowing you left your mark on this world.

Thank you – but no thanks are enough for your sacrifice. We will all miss you.

The day is clear with blue skies. I am thinking about how mesmerizing the beauty here is and what God affords us to take in with our finite existence. It is NOTHING compared to the perfected paradise He promises to those who trust in Him. I believe with my entire being that your last breath here was your first in Heaven with our beloved Jesus. You were a Daddy’s girl like me and it’s comforting knowing you two are back together! God isn’t allowing you to see not even one sad tear drop here on the Earth. (I love that promise)! You have been etched on every heart you have encountered.

I still can’t believe all this happened. You were always had that infectious smile…always saw you at Courthouse, our shift were never the same, but always seem to “run” into you. God has very special place for you. You will be missed, but your memory will last forever. My prayers are with you and the family. You have left a legacy and memory that nobody can erase. R.I.P. kiddo, we have your watch

Thank you for your many years of dedicated service to your community. Vero will never forget you! Condolences to your family who I am sure are very proud and very heartbroken. I hope your bravery and dedication bring them some semblance of peace.

Never met u .Wish I had.My thanks for being a part of the team of selfless members of the human family that protect us.May God protect yours as u protected us .Joan Fox

Thank you so much for your dedicated service to Indian River county. I never knew Terri but this tragic loss to the force will be felt forever! You will be truly missed and my family is praying for your family, friends and coworkers. God Bless You Terri!

Terri was the best America had to offer. I knew her for years and she was always there to help. Keep her family in your prayers

In the blink of an eye your life is gone and no answers can bring you back. My wife and I are deeply sorry for the loss of Sergeant Terri-Jean Sweeting-Mashkow. We are praying for her family and our men and women that serve our community.

Words can’t begin to express the sadness this has caused. She was always great at what she did and impacted many lives with her kindness and caring heart. Her smile was genuine. I was the 911 administrator when we hired Terri as a Public Safety Dispatcher. Her work ethic was excellent and she carried that same kind of caring when she went on the road as a Deputy Sheriff. I’m honored to have known and worked with her, her sacrifice will never be forgotten. I am sure you were welcomed into Heaven by Jesus himself, His good and faithful servant. Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called sons of God. Matthew 5:9. My sincere condolences to her families, loved ones and friends. May the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:7. ❤️

My heart aches more than it ever has. You were the best partner I could have ever asked for, and an even better friend. The world lost an amazing person and it will never be the same. Rest easy, my friend. We have the watch from here.

Words cannot describe the pain & sorrow I feel. Best Friends for 20 years. So many memories. Holidays, trips, shopping, good times & bad times but this is the worst. I will always treasure our sisterhood. I love you forever.

Hello. Retired Orange County Sheriff’s Office Sgt. This broke my heart hearing of your passing. God bless you and all you have given to the community. Your dedication and service will not be forgotten. Rest in heaven!

I did not know Sgt Terri personally but sending my prayers for her. Sincerely offer my condolences to her family & friends. May she R.I.P

Terri I don’t know you personally but from what I have read your love of your community and animals tells me you are a amazing person. My deepest condolences to your Family and all your coworkers. You are truly a hero and I will keep you and your family in my prayers.

Terri, we never met but have seen you at booths proudly representing the sheriffs office a few times. When I saw that larger than life, unmistakable smile in the recent news, my heart sank knowing exactly what this county lost without knowing you at all. Thank you for 25+ years of your service to this community. Lifting up friends and family in prayer during this overwhelmingly difficult time. Kevin, Stacy, Maria
