Raised in North Salt Lake City, UT, Terrie attended Adelaide Elementary, South Davis Jr. High, and Viewmont High Schools.

She was very industrious and while attending high school, she worked two jobs to help support her mother and family.

Carlson at Quicks Inn in North Salt Lake on Friday the 13th in April, 1984, while waiting for a bus to go to a job interview in Salt Lake City, UT. They got talking and Terrie missed the bus. They went out to dinner after the missed bus and talked until 4:00 a.m. They were married Sept. 6, 1986, in Lake Tahoe, NV, honeymooning at Zephyr Cove, NV with their first dog/child Hank.
