Entertainment attorney Terri Nolan passed away on June 20 after a long battle with cancer. She was 46.

Nolan most recently practiced law in Loeb & Loeb’s Nashville office.

Terri Lynn Nolan (McElrone) was born on Jan. 5, 1977, in Wilmington, Delaware. She was passionate about country music while growing up, often traveling to Nashville. After forming friendships with songwriters in Music City, Nolan eventually quit her job in banking to combine her passion for music with her dream of being a lawyer.

Nolan graduated from Wilmington University in 2007. She and her husband, Kevin, then moved to New Hampshire so that she could study intellectual property law at the University of New Hampshire School of Law. With a degree from UNH, Nolan moved to Nashville.

She became an in-house legal counsel for Capitol Christian Music Group. After eight years at CCMG, Nolan joined Loeb & Loeb in 2020.

Nolan was known for her love of ’80s hair bands and country music, particularly that of Garth Brooks, who became a friend through her work. She was also a lover of shoes and bourbon.

Terri Nolan is preceded in death by her father, Raymond Lyons. She is survived by her loving husband, Kevin Nolan; her mother Maryellen Lyons (McElrone); her brother, Ray Lyons and his wife, Shyla; her sister Shellie Lyons; her in-laws, Rob and Deb Furness and Richard and Ellen Nolan; her sister-in-law, Kristen Nolan; and her nieces and nephews.

A memorial service for Nolan took place at Smith Family Funeral Home on June 24.
