Frank Carol Terhune

Anderson - ''He fought a good fight, now the battle is won.'' Frank Carol Terhune, 83, left this world peacefully to be with his Heavenly Father on February 11, 2007 at Community Hospital, Anderson, after a courageous battle with declining health. He was surrounded by his loving wife, Marty, and step daughter-in-law, Darlene. Frank was born on February 7, 1924 to Frank Elmer and LaVina Batler Terhune in Bloomington. At a very young age, Frank moved with his family to Alexandria where he was raised and graduated from high school in 1943. He served his country during World War II, first in the US Army Air Force, then in the US Army in the European Theatre. He received the Bronze Star Award in 2003. After the war, he completed electronics technology training and went to work for RCA Thomson Electronics in Indianapolis. After retiring from RCA in 1986, he was happy to return to his hometown of Alexandria, where he lived until moving to Anderson in 2005. In 1990, Frank married Martha Lou ?Marty? Lusher. During their 17 years together, they spent their retirement traveling and constantly doing home improvements. Frank loved to find a good fishing hole. When he wasn?t fishing, he spent countless hours grooming and landscaping his large lawn. In his later years, he found a passion for studying Bible prophecy and loved to strike up a conversation with other students of prophecy. He also enjoyed reading his Bible every day, going to church and listening to gospel music and Lawrence Welk. Frank was a member of Park Place Community Church in Anderson. He attended church services faithfully until his health declined, keeping him home-bound.
