Victor & Terry Stelly

I think about them often, as I know you all do. I think about their children and grandchildren and the grief they continue to feel. My heart goes out to family and friends who live with this loss.
May your faith give you peace.

There are not enough kind words to say about this couple. And we were not surprised that Vic would not leave his beloved Terry.

Due to Covid we do not attend funerals but wanted yall to know we truly considered them great friends.

Vic and Terry were the "definition" of the perfect couple. Vic was always kind, stoic, intelligent, a leader, great story-teller, and fully of humor and wit. He carried a little tiny grin most of the time which was infectious. Terry could "light up a room," smiling, fun to be around, busy, busy, busy. She was hilarious and made everyone around her happy. Terry had a way of including everyone.

I often tell my friends and family, in those critically formative years there were a few people, other than my parents,...
