Terry Scholle, a beloved husband, father, Papa, brother, and friend, passed away peacefully on September 15, 2025, in Hazelwood, Missouri, surrounded by his loving family after a courageous battle with cancer. Born on October 13, 1962, in St. Charles, Missouri, Terry lived a life filled with the warmth of familial bonds and an unwavering sense of community.
From an early age, Terry was grounded in the values of hard work and humility, having grown up on a working farm where he toiled alongside his father and brother, Pat, in the corn and wheat fields. These experiences instilled in him a deep appreciation for life’s simple pleasures, which he carried throughout his years. He dedicated over 25 years of his life to Culligan Water of Chesterfield, where he took immense pride in his work and fostered lasting relationships with his customers. His gentle demeanor and patient nature endeared him to all who had the pleasure of knowing him.
Terry was not just a dedicated worker but also a passionate volunteer with the St. Martin de Porres Athletic Association. He poured his heart into ensuring that the athletic fields were perfectly maintained, an endeavor that reflected his commitment to the community and the joy he found in fostering connections through sport.
Family was at the very center of Terry's existence. He is survived by his loving wife, Sandy Scholle, and their cherished children, Melissa (David) Burke and Nick (Deanna) Scholle. He took great pride in being a father, and as the years passed, his love expanded as he embraced his role as Papa to Kaylee Burke, Wrenlee Scholle, and Ethan Teson, who brought him immeasurable joy and fulfillment.
Terry's personality shone through in his fondness for laughter and light-hearted jokes; he had a unique gift for finding joy in the mundane. His deep admiration for chocolate, especially his favorites like Chocolate Stars, Hershey Kisses, and 3 Musketeers, showcased his zest for life’s sweet moments.
He is also remembered by his sisters, Georgia (Fred) McCulley and Debbie (Mike) Worster, and his brother, Pat (the late Jo) Jordan, who carry forward the memories of their bond and the love they shared.
While the loss of Terry leaves an unparalleled space in the hearts of his loved ones, his legacy of love, kindness, and dedication will forever resonate within the tapestry of their lives. He joins his departed parents, Abe Scholle and Mickey Scholle, as well as his brother, Mike Jordan, who welcomed him with open arms.
Terry Scholle’s spirit will continue to shine brightly in the lives he touched, inspiring all to cherish family, laughter, and the sweetness of life’s journeys.
A Celebration of Life will be held to honor Terry, the date is yet to be determined. Please check back for updated service information.
