Terry Teigen Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Sep. 19, 2021.
Terry Teigen passed away peacefully at the age of 84 on Sunday, September 12, at home surrounded by his loving family. Terry was born in Edmore, North Dakota, on February 20, 1937. He moved to Orange, CA with his family when he was 14 and attended Orange High School, followed by Caltech where he earned both a BS & MS in Electrical Engineering. He married the love of his life Nancy in 1961, and they celebrated their 60th anniversary last month. Terry worked for Ford Aerospace for 30 years before retiring and enjoying 25 years doing the things he loved most with Nancy: traveling, skiing, houseboating on Lake Powell, backpacking, and visiting his kids and their families. He is survived by his wife Nancy, sons Rob (Joyce), Mike (Paul), Craig (Norma), Dave (Katie), daughter Michelle (Tapper), and grandchildren Olin & Sara, Kyra & Kai, and Stella & Mareya. We love you Dad, and will carry your brilliant, warm, generous spirit in our hearts always.
