Popular Business Owner Who Suffered Stroke Faces Months Of Rehab

PLEASANTON, CA — A popular Pleasanton business owner is recovering after suffering a massive stroke earlier this month. Terri Carlson, owner of Milfleur, a home decor and gift store, faces months of rehabilitation and may never be able to work again, according to her family members.

Carlson opened her first business in Pleasanton in 1979. She has been a mainstay in the community ever since. Carlson has donated to many local charities for years and her husband, Rick, and daughter, Sierra, have worked closely with Carlson in the Ray Street store and during events.

Following her mother’s stroke and difficult prognosis, Sierra created a GoFundMe page to help the family pay for the costs associated with Carlson’s recovery process.

"Terri has created a magical oasis at Milfleur and those of us who frequent her shop know all about that magic, whether you are looking for a special gift made by local artisans or just need a warm embrace and listening ear, the door is always open," Sierra wrote.

The page has garnered more than $5,500 since it was launched on March 18. Donate to Carlson’s campaign.

Milfleur is located at 200 Ray St. in Pleasanton.
