Terry Lee Palmer
Terry Lee Palmer, 71, passed away Friday, May 23, 2025 literally
surrounded by family.
Terry served at the Barberton Water Treatment plant for 47 years working
his way up to Utilities Director while earning his Class 4 Water Treatment
Operator License from the EPA.
Above all, Terry loved spending time with his family. He and his wife, Tina,
just celebrated 50 years of marriage in March. Terry loved showing up for his
grandchildren! He attended games, meets, recitals, and spent as much time
with them as possible. He also loved cars and anything with an engine. Terry
and Tina are members of the Z Bimmers BMW Car Club and enjoyed going
on car runs with their friends in the club. Terry never met a dad joke he
couldn’t tell, could fix anything except broken glass, and would generously
pass on his know-how.
Preceded in death by his parents, Jack E. Palmer and Leea N. Palmer
(DePoy). He is survived by his wife, Tina, his children, Carrie (John) Skarl and
Brad (Samantha Hall), and his joy, his grandchildren: Wyatt (16) and Jonas
(14) Skarl, and Abram (10) and Leah (6) Palmer. He is also survived by his
sister, Brenda Richards of Virginia. Above all he loved being a husband,
father, and grandfather, all of which constitute his enormous and beautiful life
legacy.
