Terry Symmonds Obituary
Corky was born on March 24, 1950, at home in Warsaw, IL. He was the son of Bill and Shirley (Hasten) Symmonds. On April 27, 2002, Corky was united in marriage to Donna Wood at the First Christian Church in Hamilton. Corky took on many endeavors in his life. He spent time working on motorcycles until he owned his own motorcycle repair shop, Symmonds Cycles. He also worked with his dad at Symmonds Junkyard and drove a truck for some time. Ultimately, he ended up at Keokuk Steel Castings where he worked for many years until he retired. Corky had a love for everything, Harley Davidson. He collected any memorabilia he could get his hands on, and he knew every model. You could always find Corky tinkering in his garage, and he even taught himself how to weld. Corky was a lifetime member of the First Christian Church in Hamilton, where he held several positions, including Deacon throughout his life.
Corky is survived by his wife, Donna Symmonds of Hamilton, IL; his children, Lois Symmonds of Keokuk, IA, Terry (Amanda) Symmonds of Keokuk, IA, Amber Symmonds (Shawn Turnbull) of Ft. Madison, IA, and Pam (Matt) Garlick of Macomb, IL; his grandchildren, Travis, Michael, Dalton, Joseph, Jennifer, Terry Jo, Krysta, Reiburn, Reilynn, and Cassady; his sisters, Lydia Kemper and Violet Steele; his step-mother, Joyce Symmonds of AZ, as well as many great grandchildren, nieces, and nephews.
He is preceded in death by his parents, his brother, Jim Symmonds, and his brother-in-law, Bill Kemper.
