HIS LEGACY
 
The Final chapter of Mr. Milton Terry Senior’s life was written on Tuesday, March 7, 2017 when he was called home and entered into eternal rest. Servant of God, Well Done, Rest from Thy Love Employ.  The Battle has been fought, the victory has been won, Enter thy Master’s Joy.
 
Milton was born March 1, 1930 to the late Reverend Rufus Terry and Annie Mae Jordan Terry in Ellaville (Schley County) Georgia.  He was preceded in death by his Parents, Sister, Olivia, Brothers, Rudolph (Eleanor), and Reno Dean (Azzie).
 
Milton received his formal education as well as Christian education in the Schley County Community.  He professed Christ as his Savior at an early age at the Quebec Baptist Church in Ellaville, GA. He was united in holy matrimony to the former Bertha Hill of Andersonville, GA. This union was blessed with three children.
 
He believed in telling you exactly what he thought and doing exactly what he wanted to do.  He wanted it done “His Way”.  He enjoyed driving from Andersonville to Americus to Ellaville to Montezuma back to Andersonville on a daily.  His favorite word of the day was:
 
“THANK GOD FOR JESUS”

ToTheTerry Family, I am truly sorry for your loss. I know you have many wonderful memories of your time with Mr. Milton. When you reflect on the memories you shared they will bring a smile to your heart. I know this is a difficult time, but the Bible gives us a wonderful future hope , Revelation 21:4 says death will be no more. The Bible promises we will live in a world free of death. This is an awesome future promise made by Almighty God to obedient mankind. May you have peace.
