Terry Poling Obituary
Terry L. Poling, age 77, of Jonesboro, Indiana, passed away peacefully on Monday, November 1, 2021, at 2:25 pm at home surrounded by loved ones.
Terry was born in Anderson, Indiana, on April 1, 1944, to Robert and Jean (Norton) Poling. He graduated from Marion High School in 1962. He was married to the love of his life, Maxine (Knight), on November 17, 1973. She survives along with son, Scott (Jessica) Poling of Brownsburg, IN; daughter, Lisa (Tim) Taylor of Whitesburg, TN; granddaughters, Kala (Austin) Fidler of Hartford City, IN, and Shelby (Edgar) Quebrado of Indianapolis, IN; and four great-grandchildren, Isaiah Fidler, Analiah, Ashton and Aliana Quebrado.
Terry retired from Foster-Forbes Glass Company on February 26, 2000, after almost 38 years of service. He served his community for 19+ years between his time on the city council and as Mayor of Jonesboro. Terry was an avid collector of Ford memorabilia and a long-time sports fan of the Dodgers and Rams teams. He loved spending time with his family. Terry enjoyed many activities in his retirement including yard work, gardening, fishing, and riding his bicycle, especially with his great-grandson, Isaiah.
He was preceded in death by his parents and his brother, Larry Poling.
A very special thank you to Dr. Adesola Awomolo, the staff at IU Health Ball Memorial Medical Oncology for all their help, and to Susan for all of her support and help.
A private graveside service will take place at Grant Memorial Park with a celebration of Terry's life to be scheduled in the future.

I did not know Terry, but can only go by what I have seen in knowing his son. This tells me he was a great husband, father, and grandfather. My heart goes out to the family along with prayers for strength and comfort for the coming weeks.
