Charles “Terry” Herndon, age 77, of Rome, Ga., passed away December 1, 2017. He was preceded in death by his wife Martha Joy and his parents Helen and Warren Herndon.

Terry was loved by all who knew him and will be dearly missed.

His wishes are to have a celebration of his life with friends and family; arrangements are not yet finalized.
