Memorial service were held on Saturday, Sept. 21, 2019 at 11 a.m. at Calvary Chapel south of Colome.
Terry LeRoy Shippy was born on June 3, 1950, in Burke, South Dakota to Harold and Deloris (Heying) Shippy. Terry grew up south of Colome and attended elementary school at the Stewart School, Colome High School and Denver Automotive and Diesel College in Denver, Colo.
Terry married the love of his life, Vicki (Jorgensen) in August of 1972. Five children were born to this union; Jeremy, Shelby, Cody, Jesse and Austin.
Terry loved race cars, it didn’t matter if he was building, racing or wrecking the cars. He enjoyed hunting his pheasants, collecting and shooting his guns, and cheer for his Packers! But, his favorite thing in the world was spending time with his kids and grandkids.
Terry spent several years moving mobile homes for many families in the area, even going as far as Chandler, Ariz. He started driving truck during the off season and in 1979 began driving for Kaiser Trucking, ending that career upon death.
Terry is survived by his wife, Vicki; children Shelby (Charles) Lay, Cody (Cally) Westergren, Jesse (Christina) Shippy and Austin Shippy; Grandchildren Chase (Makayla) Shippy, Chance Lay, Peyton, Adisson and Tate Westergren and Greyson and Lyndon Shippy. He is also survived by sisters Karen (Jon) Bice, Bonnie Petersen, Johanna (Jim) Gillming and brothers Roger (Cynthia) Shippy and Doug (Crystal) Shippy.
Terry was preceded in death by his father Harold, mother Deloris (Heying) Gaines, and son Jeremy.
