May 12th, 1933 - June 5th, 2018 Cherokee Memorial is honored to serve the Terzo family.
Dr. Sam Terzo passed away peacefully in his home surrounded by his loving family at the age of 85.
He was a devoted and caring husband of 55 years to his wife, Elizabeth. Known for his diverse lifelong quest for learning, he went on to complete several advanced degrees and working for Stockton Unified School District for 25 years as a speech pathologist. He was also known as a health nut with a big sweet tooth. He loved animals of all kinds, from baby chicks to his Labrador retrievers. His family and grandchildren especially also remember how much he liked to make silly faces, noises and crack jokes with them.
He is survived by his caring wife Elizabeth; his three children Tracie, Todd, and Laurie; and his eight grandchildren Michael, Anthony, Angel, Taylor, Braydon, Jayda, Kade, and Sol. He is also survived by his two brothers and sister and many nieces and nephews; his brother- and sister-in-law Bob and Jan and niece/nephew, Robyn and Brent. He was preceded in death by his daughter, Kellie.
In lieu of flowers, please send a donation to the wonderful Bristol Hospice Foundation at 2140 Professional Drive, Suite #210, Roseville, CA 95661.
