\"BentleyT\"<\/a>FREDONIA:\u00a0 Terry L. Bentley, was born March 29, 1954, to the late Jason and Myrtle (Thomas) Bennett, in Corry, PA.\u00a0 She married her best friend and love of her life, Mark, on September 9, 1989.\u00a0 Terry went to be with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on Wednesday, June 3rd, 2015, after battling pancreatic and liver cancer.<\/p>\n

Terry was an active member of the Laona United Methodist Church and loved her church family.\u00a0 She also enjoyed golfing, camping and motorcycling with her husband.\u00a0 Each May, they traveled to a small church in Tionesta, PA to be blessed for the riding season along with hundreds of other motorcyclists.\u00a0 Most vacations were spent at their camp, “Camp Little Running Water”, which was their piece of Heaven on earth!\u00a0 Each June for 10 years, she was team captain for one of the teams supporting the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life event held at SUNY Fredonia.\u00a0 Terry loved all living animals but especially her house cats and barn cats-they were her joy!<\/p>\n
