Terry M. Miller, 71, of Bellefonte, passed away on Friday, July 18, 2025, at Geisinger Medical Center in Danville. Born on November 28, 1953, in Bellefonte, he was the son of the late Gerald M. and Virginia (Reish) Miller. On May 19, 1979, he married the love of his life, Beverly Ann (Gates) Miller, who survives at home after sharing 46 years of marriage together.
Terry was a 1972 graduate of Bellefonte Area High School. After school, he proudly served his country during the Vietnam War in the United States Navy from September 1972 until he was honorably discharged in September 1976. Upon returning home from the service, he worked for Cerro Metal Products for over 30 years until his retirement when the company ultimately shutdown.
In addition to his wife, Beverly, he is survived by their two children, Matthew M. Miller (Toni) of Bellefonte, and Jennifer D. Miller of Zion, step grandchildren, Anna Rossman (Dakota Rossman) of Bellefonte, and Vincent Lawrence of Millheim, and a step great grandchild, Warren Rossman of Bellefonte. Also surviving are his brothers, Edward Miller (Debbie) of Zion, and Raymond Miller (Virginia) of Pleasant Gap.
Along with his parents, he was predeceased by a sister, Connie Burd.
Terry was adventurous with an infectious free-spirited nature about him; he was always willing to try anything at least once! He enjoyed going to the Grange Fair each year, and camping all over Pennsylvania. More than anything, he loved his family. He treasured the time that he spent making memories with them throughout the years.
Family and friends will be received on Wednesday, July 23, 2025, from 10:00 – 11:00 AM, at the Calvary Church, 150 Harvest Fields Drive, Boalsburg. Funeral services will begin at 11:00 AM, at the church, with Pastor Dan Nold officiating.
