Events Terry Stonestreet Obituary

Terry Wayne Stonestreet, 78, of Gifford passed unexpectedly at his home Tuesday (Dec. 12, 2023).

He was born Feb. 23, 1945, in Urbana, a son of Wayne and Clara (Ackerman) Stonestreet. He married Linda Adkins and then later married Judy Walsh on Aug. 7, 1976, in the Methodist Church of Gifford. She survives.

Also surviving are three children, Wayne (LeaAnn) Stonestreet of Eldon, Mo., Andy Walsh of Canton, Mo., and Lisa Walsh Combs of Gifford; nine grandchildren, Kenny Wall, Cody Wall, Shawn Wall, Riley Wall, Trevor Stonestreet, Shawn Walsh, Joselyn Walsh, Ollie Combs and Hannah Combs; and a great-grandchild, Emily Wall.

He was preceded in death by his parents; a sister, Sheila; and a grandson, Daniel.

Terry made his career as grounds supervisor for the University of Illinois, retiring in 1998. He was a Jack of all trades and could carry on a conversation with anyone. He loved the 12-step program and helped too many friends to count! Terry and his wife, Judy, were celebrating 43 years of sobriety together this week.

A celebration of life will be at 4 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 16, at Lux Memorial Chapel, 1551 E. Grove Ave., Rantoul. Visitation will be from 2:30 to 4 p.m. just prior to the service, at Lux Memorial Chapel.

Memorials may be made to the Rantoul Serenity Shack.
