Terrance Leslie Beckett. 69, died in the comfort of his home on February 14, 2017 in St. George, Maine. Terry was born on March 9, 1947 in Rockland to parents Virgil Beckett and Lily Peterson Beckett. Terry grew up in St. George and attended local schools.
While Terry was never able to have employment due to health issues it never stopped him from being a man who always wanted to gain knowledge. Terry amassed a large collection of books that he was always reading and studying. He enjoyed history and could tell anyone things that had gone on many years ago in his town and elsewhere. He was also an avid geneology person for the family.
Some of Terry’s favorite pastimes were enjoying what nature had to offer. He was always feeding the birds and animals of the forest. He also enjoyed going to lawn sales in the summer. One of Terry’s greatest traits were his “nurturing abilities”. He had a special bond with his grandparents and was able to take care of them during their later years and he tended on them until their passing. He also took great care of his father until his passing and he has tended to his mother until her health required that she be placed in a facility to better suit her needs.
Left to cherish Terry’s memory is his mother Lily of St. George, Maine , his brother Arnold and his wife Julie from St. George, Maine. His Nephew Ryan, as well as Shawn and wife Amy. His nieces Jennifer and Jessica Beckett . Terry is also survived by his Great Nephews Brent & Seth Beckett and Blake Simmons as well as his Great Niece Carly Simmons. Terry had a special place in his heart for his Aunt Astrid Weaver and leaves many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.
Terry’s family has chosen to honor his life privately in the Spring/Summer of 2017.
