Mrs. Terri Roxanne Lemon

Terri Roxanne (Lenon) Lemon (age 71) was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend. She departed this world for the grandeur of her heavenly home on Monday, March 25, 2024. Terri Roxanne was born in Lansing, MI, on April 20, 1952. Being the youngest of six children, her siblings and parents, James and Minnie (Ostrander) Lenon, affectionately called her “Roxie.” She graduated from Mason Senior High School in 1970; and on February 13, 1971, she married Air Force Lt. Robert Francis Lemon Jr., also of Mason. Together they moved frequently with the military, until they were stationed in Florida. They found a house on Merritt Island, FL, and transformed it into their home. In February, they celebrated 53 wonderful years of marriage together, and since retirement have especially enjoyed their morning walks on the beach and taking special day trips together. A yearly favorite was attending an antique tractor and engine show together where she enjoyed using a cook stove to make new and interesting meals for any family or friends who had time to join them. Terri was a woman who wore many hats - literally. She was a homemaker and wife first, but for a few years taught piano and elementary school and coached girls’ volleyball and basketball. Wherever her husband was stationed, Terri always served the Lord as the church organist/pianist and as a children’s ministry leader in AWANA and Patch the Pirate. She loved playing the old congregational hymns and shared a ton of laughs while accompanying the various men’s quartets. Terri could often be found joining Bob on a church construction project, baking cookies for her family, or catering church events or weddings. Possessing a giving servant’s heart, Terri faithfully used her gift of hospitality to bless others. She loved cooking for others by hosting choir, church, teacher, and holiday banquets. She was happiest when she could adorn her house with holiday decorations and entertain houseful after houseful of people, friends, and especially her grandchildren. More than just outwardly serving, Terri modeled what it meant to be an authentic Christian. Her life was a faithful example to younger wives, mothers, family, friends, children, and grandchildren. Because Terri modeled her faith in every area, Jesus was seen in her words and actions. Even during her most recent sixteen-month battle with cancer, her spirits were always high, and she was a continual encouragement to the doctors and nurses as well as family and friends. Now it is our turn to live out her desire for each of us to follow in the pattern that she has set and glorify God with our lives. Terri is survived by her husband, Robert Lemon; three children, Ruth Edna Rosenquist of Rockledge, FL, Rebecca Louise (husband John) Park of Iowa City, IA, and Robert Francis Lemon III (wife Stephi) of Bow, NH; 11 grandchildren; 3 great-grandchildren; and sister, Jean Beckon of Okemos, MI. She will be greatly missed by all.
