Terry Family

In Loving Memory: Clennie M. Terry (Gracey)
1907 – 1987

We honor the life and legacy of our beloved matriarch, Clennie M. Terry, who passed away 39 years ago today, on May 7, 1987.

Born in the hills of Sparta, Tennessee, Clennie was the daughter of William David Gracy and Brady Almara West. She carried the strength of her Tennessee roots with her when she eventually made her home in Indiana. A woman of immense resilience and heart, she raised a large, vibrant family that continues to grow and honor her memory today.

She was a devoted mother to her ten children and a steady branch in our family tree. Whether she was known as Clennie, "Ma," or "Grandma" she was the glue that held so much of our history together.

Today, we remember her spirit, her journey from White County to Beech Grove, and the deep roots she planted for all of us.

"To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die."

Rest in Peace, Grandma Clennie. Always in our hearts.

It’s almost time 🌸 Decoration 4th Sunday in May! We are also planning dinner that Saturday night at Foglight. We gathered for years at Center Hill Restaurant with our families and now the restaurant is gone. We’d like to start new traditions with more extended family coming.
