Terry Bednarz Obituary
Terry Lynn Bednarz 65, of Hollister, MO was born in Chelsea, Massachusetts and passed away unexpectedly January 17, 2025. Loving mother of Jessica (Breanne) Allen, Joshua (Nichole) Bednarz; proud YaYa of Jackson Bednarz; dear sister of Roy Johnson, Vanessa (Tony) Seisser, Scott (Sheila) Johnson; fond aunt of many nieces and nephews, and special niece, Saphira Gabbert. Terry was preceded in death by her husband, Stan Bednarz, life companion David Murphy, nephew Corey Johnson and father Roy Johnson. Terry loved being outside whether it be on the boat or paddle boarding, even just floating in the water. Anything with water brought her comfort and peace. When not enjoying the water you could definitely find her in her “chair” watching her favorite Judge Judy. A visitation will be held at Kurtz Memorial Chapel 102 E. Francis Rd., New Lenox on Friday January 24, 2025 from 3-8pm with chapel service at 7pm. In lieu of flowers memorial contributions may be made to the family.
