Glenn (Terbie) Terbush's Obituary
Glenn (Terbie) Terbush, age 69, of Marine City met his "Spirit in the Sky" on June 11, 2025. Glenn graduated from Marine City High School in 1973. He was appropriately voted Class Clown his Senior year. He earned an Associate Degree in Recreation Management from St. Clair County Community College where to the surprise of his parents he made the Dean’s List.
Glenn retired from Ford Motor Company as a Test Driver after 28 years. He was President of the Marine City Softball Association. He had a love of the river and freighters which showed up in abundance in his favorite hobby, Photography. Glenn had an eclectic taste in music that he enjoyed immensely which could be heard coming from his condo every morning. HIs happiest place on earth was the Upper Peninsula. Paradise and White Fish Bay were an annual fall trip.
Glenn is known by his friends to be a good listener, sounding board of thoughts and advice. He would quietly do for others with no expectation of getting anything in return. He was always on a quest for new knowledge and would always find interesting shows to share with his sisters.
Glenn is survived by his sisters Nancy (Tom) Kohlman and Jean Parcell who loved him to the moon and back. Nephews and nieces Joseph (Erin), Sarah (Ryan), Brent (Nicole), Cheryl (Alex), Jordan (Sonja) and Eryn (Steve). They all have fun memories of UG and some of the pranks he would pull on them. He was a great uncle to Wyatt, Amelia, Vivienne, JoLee, August, Emerson, Hendrix, Emmy, June, Mila and Colson. He is preceded in death by parents Blaine and Lois (Toot) Terbush and brother-in-law Robert (Bob) Parcell.
He had so many special friends, Sue Carrier, his adopted family Bob and Theresa Donaldson and their children, Larry and Pat Beaker. Not forgetting his brother from another mother Dennie HIll, the only King he knew - Elvis. Plus Henry Miller who became like a little brother.
