Peter "Terry" Marston

MARSTON, Peter Terrell "Terry," 69, of Greenwood, Va., died peacefully at Mountainside Senior Living in Crozet on October 31, 2009. Terry, the son of Charlotte and Lee Marston, was raised at the Rectory of Emmanuel Church, Greenwood, where his father was rector for over 30 years. He attended Greenwood High School and the Partridge School in Gainesville, Va., was a Boy Scout, and with his lifelong friend, Jimmy Woodson, was an active Explorer Scout. He worked with antiques, especially books, most of his life and established Terry's Treasure Trove in Belmont. He worked at South St. Antiques with his friend Roulhac Toledano, and at many antique sales with his myriad of antique dealer friends. Terry was a fantastic UVA sports fan and attended years of Virginia basketball with Jimmy Woodson. His Richmond friend, Chad Young, drove him to Ogden, Utah, to Ralph Sampson's last UVA game. He also worked at the Green Olive Tree, the Crozet Thrift Shop, and at the SPCA sales with his dear friend, Ponch McPhee. Terry is survived by his sister, Charlotte Jane and her husband, Lloyd Pope; brothers, Minor Lee and his wife, Sylvia, and John Haines Marston; godchildren, Tolee Blow and Kate Marston Cleven; nine nieces and nephews, and countless cousins and friends - especially his many friends at Mountainside who helped him so much. A celebration of Terry's life is to be held at 1 p.m. Saturday, December 12, at Emmanuel Church, Greenwood. The Reverends, Anthony Andres, Charles Mulally and David Wayland will officiate. A reception will follow in the Parish Hall. Memorial contributions may be made to Albemarle/Charlottesville SPCA or the H. Lee Marston Scholarship at Virginia Theological Seminary in Alexandria.
