Terri Bock Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Apr. 30, 2009.
BOCK, Terri A. of Galesburg, Michigan Terri Ann (Van Sickler) Bock, age 53, passed away unexpectedly Thursday, April 30 at her home in Galesburg. She was born on February 1st, 1956 in Battle Creek. Terri Ann embraced the Jewish Faith with husband and true soul mate, Heshy. She was a loving and devoted wife. Terri Ann was employed for many years as a Dental Business Manager and more recently in accounting for Archway. She is the daughter of Robert S. VanSickler, Jr. and Sarah M. Goddard (deceased) and step mother, Kathryn J. VanSickler. She is survived by step daughters, Sarah and Elizabeth Bock of New York, sisters, Diane M. Nelson of Tennessee, Joan K. VanSickler of Parchment, and Susan L. Fayling of Portage, niece Marrisa M. Nelson of Kalamazoo, nephews Justin R. Nelson of Chicago, Christopher M.J. Fayling of Kalamazoo and Ken S. Pratt of Parchment, grandmother, Virginia D. VanSickler of Richland and several aunts, uncles and cousins. A few of Terri Ann's many passions included music, arts and crafts, jewelry, an avid reader and gardener. She made many preserves from her garden and organic soaps and lotions using her home grown herbs. She loved to bake with a special creative flare in desserts. She demonstrated her passion with every interest, to the extent of researching every detail available. Her cultural knowledge was truly impressive. Terri Ann was the resource for all family genealogy; always the one to ask for any needed anecdote. We will feel the loss of Terri Ann forever in our hearts. Services will take place Monday, 11:00am, at the Langeland Family Funeral Homes, Galesburg Chapel, 145 W. Battle Creek Street, Galesburg. Interment will follow at Memorial Park Cemetery in Battle Creek.
