Terry Louis Glispie, 59, of Centralia passed away Saturday, February 26, 2022, at SSM Health St. Mary’s Hospital in Centralia. Terry was so very proud and considered it an honor to serve his country in the United States Army. He was a fierce provider and protector of his family, working with concrete in construction. Terry was a gentleman and a sharp dresser, making sure to always look his best. He loved to fill his time with music, walking around with his headphones on. Terry loved grilling and having a good barbeque with his family and friends. His joy and true love came from spending time with and making awesome memories with his wife, children, grandchildren, siblings, and cherished nieces and nephews. He loved his wife’s cooking especially her sweet potato pie and collecting watches. Terry was well respected, hardworking, proud of his family, and had an amazing smile that would brighten a room.
