Terry Canary

Terry Canary, 78, of Celina, Ohio, passed away peacefully at home on Thursday, February 27, 2025, surrounded by his loving family.

He was born on January 18, 1947, in Celina to the late Ralph and Ruth (Ford) Canary. On July 3, 1965, he married the love of his life, Mary Lee Lovelace, who survives in Celina.

Terry was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. He leaves behind his children, Chris (Penny) Canary of Celina and Traci (Kevin Day) Canary of Celina; five cherished grandchildren, Slade (Kerri) Canary of Celina, Afton (Vance Waldron) Strobel of Rockford, Logan (Caleb) French of Celina, Miranda (Darrick) Roesser of Celina, and Mason Temple of Celina; and ten beloved great-grandchildren. He is also survived by his sister, Donna (Troy Drake) Riley of Rockford; his brother, Keith (Cindy) Canary of Rockford; and numerous extended family members and friends.

A proud 1965 graduate of Parkway High School, Terry dedicated his career to running Canary Brothers Concrete Tile Company in Tama, Ohio. He was a man of faith and attended Mt. Carmel Church of God. In his free time, he found joy in tending to his yard, feeding his squirrels, and, most of all, making memories with his family.

Funeral services will be held at 2:00 PM on Tuesday, March 4, 2025, at Mt. Carmel Church of God (2493 Carmel Church Rd, Celina, Ohio 45822), with Pastor Scott Rowe officiating. Family and friends may gather for visitation at the church on Tuesday morning from 10:00 AM until the time of service at 2:00 PM.

A graveside service will take place at Friends Cemetery in Rockford at 11:00 AM on Wednesday morning, March 5, 2025.

In honor of Terry's kind and giving spirit, memorial contributions may be made to CHP Home Care & Hospice or Mercer County Senior Citizens.
