Terry Dwight Wildman's Obituary
Terry Dwight Wildman of Southaven, MS went to be with his Lord on December 15, 2021.
He is survived by his wife Billie Ann Wildman, his daughter Melissa Taylor (Chris), his grandchildren Kelsey & Drew, his sister Janice White and his cousin Glenda Currie. He was preceded in death by his father Terry Grisham Wildman and his mother Ruth Lucille Wildman.
Terry was born on July 9, 1944 in Hot Springs, AR. He graduated from Central High School in Memphis, TN. Following high school Terry served in the United States Air Force, serving in both Vietnam and Thailand. After leaving the Air Force he worked in several industries, ultimately joining Delta Airlines where he worked most of his career in reservations and retired in 1995 after 30 years with Delta.
Terry was an avid golfer and card player. He dearly loved his family and his church. Anyone who knew Terry would agree that he never met a stranger and would speak to anyone no matter the time or place. He was an intense Ole Miss football fan and to this day believes he knows what plays to call better than any coach that ever walked the sidelines in Oxford, MS.
Services will be held on Wednesday, December 22nd at Grace Evangelical Church in Germantown, TN. Visitation will be at 1:00 pm followed by the funeral service at 2:00 pm. A graveside service will be held at a later date at the West Tennessee Veterans Cemetery in Germantown, TN.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests gifts to the American Diabetes Association, Grace Venture (Grace Evan’s local and global missions), or the charity of your choice.
