    Terence Saunders

    October 5, 1942 - June 9, 2015

    Terence P. Saunders, 72, of Lake Villa, IL passed away on Tuesday, June 9, 2015. He was born October 5, 1942 in Chicago, the son of the late John and Ellen Saunders and raised in a large extended family. Terry served in the United States Coast Guard and the Army, serving two tours of duty in Vietnam where he earned numerous Purple Hearts. He spent his career as a heavy equipment operator and was a staunch member of IUOE Local 150. In his later years he was generous with his time and money, contributing both to the prison ministry and the local food pantry. Terry was an avid fisherman and golfer and he loved to laugh. Humor sustained him through his illness. Above all, he loved his family and was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather. He is survived by his wife of 42 years Connie, children Carrie (Andrew) Cherney and Brendan (Heather) Saunders, grandson Caleb, and brother Tom (late Mary) Saunders. He was preceded in death by his brother Jack (Midge) Saunders. Visitation will be from 1-5 p.m. on Sunday, June 14, 2015 at Ringa Funeral Home, 122 S. Milwaukee Ave (Rte 83) Lake Villa, IL 60046. A funeral mass will begin at 10 a.m. on Monday, June 15 at Prince of Peace Catholic Church, 135 S. Milwaukee Ave. Lake Villa, IL 60046. Family and friends are asked to gather directly at church on Monday. Cremation rites will take place privately. Please consider a contribution in Terry’s memory to the Disabled American Veterans Charity, www.dav.org.
