August 20, 1941 - September 4, 2020

Mary Elizabeth Terhune, age 79, of East China Twp., peacefully went to be with the Lord on September 4, 2020. She was born on August 20, 1941, to the late Dr. John and Adele Devereaux.

Mary was a longtime, active member at Holy Cross Catholic Church, Marine City. She and Andy together founded Terhune Motors in Marysville. Mary and her longtime high school friends from St. Stephen’s would often stay in touch. The devoted group of friends all took part in the “Sister Act”, where they would dress as nuns for events like their class reunion. She cherished all the many memories that she made with these girlfriends. In her spare time, Mary loved to play cards, especially with her Texas Hold-Em poker group. Mary was also known to have prepared many a meal for her friends and family. She treasured her time with her family. The family was always the number one priority.
