Life story

Terry Allen Roberts, 77, of Greenwood passed away on Sunday, August 27, 2023. Terry was born on January 10, 1946, in Terre Haute, Indiana to the late Clarence and Inez Roberts. He leaves behind his beloved wife of 55 years, Karen S. Roberts.

Terry was a 1964 graduate of Garfield High School in Terre Haute, Indiana. After high school, he went on to proudly serve his country in the Army. After serving in the Army, Terry went on to work for the Ford Motor Company. After 38+ years with Ford, he retired to enjoy what he loved.

Throughout his life, Terry enjoyed spending time with family, cooking homemade meals, and was known for his famous BBQ Ribs and chicken &noodles, which were family favorites. He loved the outdoors, whether it be fishing or spending hours in his yard. Although one thing is for sure, Terry never missed any of his grandchildren or great-grandchildren’s special moments.

Terry was one of a kind as he taught all the kids to play cards as the generation before him taught their children. To know him was to love him. He will be tremendously missed, but his impact on others will be felt forever.

Terry is survived by his wife: Karen Roberts, of 55 years; his daughters: Terri Lynn (Shane) Myers and Vicki Caudill; his brother, Bill Roberts; his grandchildren: Stacia Lynn (Matt) Scott, Zach (Alex) Caudill, Ty (Katelyn) Myers, and Dylan (Makenzie) Caudill; his great-grandchildren: Anna Scott, Izzy Scott, Millie Caudill, Gus Caudill, and a little bun in the oven Caudill; and extended family of relatives. He was preceded in death by his parents.
