Terry G Bode of Pinch, WV, passed on from this world Monday, November 15, 2021 due to sudden illness. He was born on May 30, 1943 to the late Marshall Eugene Bode and Lois Barbarow Bode.

A graduate of Clendenin High School and Center College in Charleston, WV he retired from BB&T in 2004. He was a member and trustee at Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church and also a proud member of The 50 States Club.

What is more Important, Terry enjoyed actively participating in the lives of his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren’s lives. At any given time, you could find him cheering from the side lines, umpiring behind the plate, coaching from the bench or even up on a scaffold helping paint a mural. Terry was a kind and loving soul who was quick with a joke and even quicker with aid or assistance to anyone who asked. With the amount of love, he had to share, whoever was with him always felt like they were his favorite.

Terry leaves behind to cherish his memories, his wife of 43 years, Shelia Epling Bode and children: Paula (John) Smolder, Tammi (Kevin) Chapman and Ian Bode and partner Anna James.
