Kendall Terry

Kendall Terry 93, of Lester,  went home to be with his Lord and Savior Thursday, July 2, 2020. He was born January 15, 1927, at Surveyor, WV, and was the son of the late Floyd Terry and Esta Clemens Terry.  In his younger years, he worked for the railroad company and later retired as a section foreman from Slab Fork Coal Company.   Even after retirement, he couldn’t remain idle so he and his wife, Gladola opened their own business known as Terry’s Saw Shop and Lawn Mower Repair. It was through this business that he was able to help others and he never met a stranger.  Kendall attended the Glen White Church of God.

He was preceded in death by his brothers, Norris Terry and Tilden Terry, and a sister Jewel Deck. Also, two brothers-in-law, Jack Deck and Harold Webb, and one sister-in-law, Bernice Terry.

Those left to cherish his memory include his loving wife of 71 years,  Gladola Robertson Terry, his children, Gene (Rita) Terry of Beckley, Wayne (Charla) Terry of Clinton Township, MI, Janet (James) Snuffer of Lester, Judy (Greg) Dunbar of Beckley, and June (Sam) Blaylock of Oak Hill.  Brothers and sisters, Gene Terry, Buford (Lucy) Terry, Gloria Webb, Teressa (Robert) Acord, and a sister-in-law, Gerry Terry.
