Terry Daniel Howell

Terry Daniel “Papa” Howell, 72, of Rossville went home to be with his Lord on Friday, May 18, 2018.  He was a native of Trion, GA and had lived most of his life in Catoosa and Walker Counties.  Terry was a United States Army veteran serving in Vietnam as a medic.  He was a member of the Tiftonia Church of God where he served as Elder and on the Pastor’s Council.  Terry retired in 2015 as Plant Manager of Syntec in Lafayette with over 30 years of service.  His passions in life were God; his family; cooking his famous chicken and dressing, potato salad, cornbread, and dumplings; traveling to Gatlinburg and the beach; and being an Alabama fan.  Terry never met a stranger and he was known for wearing his loud and crazy socks.  He will be dearly missed.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Earl and Bonnie Howell; sister, Elizabeth Meadows; and brother, Michael Howell.

Survivors include his wife of 45 years, Susan W. Howell; two children, Tara Howell Henry of Rossville and Daniel (Melissa) Howell of Ft. Oglethorpe; sister, Carolyn (Malcolm) Dodd of Summerville; grandchildren, Carlee Sikes, Daniel Skipper, Tyler Henry, MaKayla Howell, Jordan Henry, Landon Henry, Madison Howell, and Reagan Henry; great grandchildren, Evin Sikes, Sora Sikes, and Kara Skipper; and several nieces, nephews, and cousins.
