Linwood Thomas Terry

God saw you getting weaker, and He whispered "Come and rest." His garden must be beautiful, for He only picks the best. It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone. For part of us went with you, the day God called you home.

Linwood Thomas Terry was called home at 12:30 a.m. on the 22nd day of September, 2010, at Lynchburg General Hospital. Mr. Terry was born on the 13th day of September 1928, in Lynchburg. He was a graduate of Campbell County Training School in Rustburg. He retired from Babcock and Wilcox in 1990 as a technician at LRC and NNFD. He was a faithful member of Flat Creek Baptist Church, where he expressed his love for music by singing on the choir and served on the Trustee Board.

He was preceded in death by his mother, Inez Scott; his brother, Henry E. Scott; granddaughter, Lisa Jefferson; and grandson, Marcus Penn.

Linwood is survived by his loving wife, Juanita S. Terry; daughters, Linda Terry-Donahoo (Todd), of Dallas, Texas, Wanda Terry-Penn, of Lynchburg, Cassandra Terrell (Reginald), of Lynchburg, and Barbara Fore, of Greensboro, N.C.; a son, Vincent Fore, of Roanoke; nine grandchildren; five great grandchildren; seven sisters, Helen Faison, of Chevy Chase, Md., Virginia "Becky" Scott, of Los Angeles, Calif., Henrietta Miller, of Rochester, N.Y., Gloria Thurman, of Waynesboro, Permelia "Daisy" Alexander (Carnell), Sarah Franklin (Roger) and Teresa Scott, all of Lynchburg; and numerous nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.
