Terry Dobbs Obituary

Terry M. Dobbs, 71, Marion, passed away in his home with family near at 1:39 pm on Thursday, May 30, 2024. He was born in Appalachia, Virginia, on Friday, November 28, 1952, to Clarence and Betty (Collins) Dobbs. On November 11, 1978, he married Rene L. Richards.

Terry graduated from Marion High School and worked as a Supply and Inventory Specialist at Dollar General Distribution and previously RCA and Conrail.

Terry loved baseball; he played in high school and coached in the United States Air Force while stationed at Scott Air Force Base. He also played pony league at Lincoln Field. He enjoyed watching Sammie, his granddaughter, ride horses, and Griffin, his grandson, play baseball. He was the "cut up" at work. He was a big NASCAR fan and loved making memories with his daughter at the track. He was a Colts fan and loved to play golf with his brothers. More than anything, he loved spending time with friends and family.

Allen (Marilyn Kaye Owens) Dobbs of Marion; brother, Jim (Theatta) Dobbs of Marion; grandchildren, Sammie Hauke and Griffin Hauke; special cousin, Jimmy Meadors; as well as many nieces and nephews that he loved dearly.

I used to work with Terry at RCA, he was a wonderful family always talking about how proud he was of his daughter Heather. He also bragged about his beautifu wife Renee. He was a pleasure to work with, he was a gentleman.

I'm so sorry to hear of the passing of Terry, he was a wonderful co-worker at RCA and a real gentleman. He also seemed like a great family man who worshiped his family. Terry was a great loss, sending prayers for his family and friends. Joyce Wilson
