Paul Terkelsen Obituary

Terkelsen, Paul C.

November 5, 1931 - May 13, 2023

Paul left behind his loving wife of 68 years, Diane; and his two daughters, Terri Terkelsen and Paula (Jack) Dietrich. He was preceded in death by his son, Larry (Sara). He also had six grandchildren, and six great-grandchildren.

Paul led a good life, which he often said, and will be missed by all that knew him. A thankful, gracious man, who loved his chocolate chip cookies.
