Terrye Coelho

b. 1952 Person Name: Terrye Coelho-Strom, 1952- Author of "Father, I adore you" in The Book of Praise Terrye Coelho Strom USA 1952-present. Born at Camp Roberts, CA, (a military training camp for soldiers where her father was stationed) she was musically inclined. She attended Arizona State U, Tempe, AZ, and trained as a medical assistant at Anaheim, CA. In 1971 she was converted and joined Calvary Chapel at Costa Mesa, CA. She began singing for Maranatha Music. She also plays guitar. In 1972 she and her sister, Cathy, were driving near their home to and from Newport Beach for a fun time that summer and were singing to pass the time. Terrye improvised the song (noted below). It was first sung at Calvary Chapel shortly thereafter and copyrighted that year by Maranatha Music. It quickly spread to other venues and was eventually published in about 45 hymnals. In 1978 she married James Strom, and they have four children: Cathy, Danny, David, and Michael. At one point the Stroms moved to Walnut. CA, where Terrye continued as a homemaker and lyricist.
