Terrence Bala, 83, of Deming, New Mexico, formerly of Hickory Hills, Illinois, passed away on November 10, 2025.
Born on October 13, 1942, Terrence was the son of the late Sylvia Milas Bala and the late Fred Bala. He is survived by his daughters, Sandra Bala Wayteck (John) and Wendy Bala; his grandchildren, John Wayteck Jr. and Jessica Wayteck; his sisters, Carol Ann Skowronski (late Raymond) and Joan Schopf (Late Norman); and many nieces, nephews, and extended family members.
Terrence lived a carefree and independent life, always true to himself. He enjoyed the simple pleasures, found joy in the company of his beloved dog, and had a lifelong love of cars and fireworks. His easygoing nature and quiet humor made him memorable to those who knew him.
He will be missed by those who cared for him and remembered with affection by his family.
A private service will be held at a later date.
