April 2, 1950 — August 21, 2021

Don E. Terruso, 71, passed away peacefully on Saturday, August 21, 2021 at St. Joseph Regional Medical Center, Mishawaka.

He attended LaVille High School graduating with the class of 1968. On March 23, 1974 Don married Susan Myers.

Known as a quiet, reserved man with a great sense of humor to his family and friends. Don would spend his working years as the parts and service manager at car dealerships and would spend his last 30 years at Kelley Buick in Bremen, which were like a second family to him.

Also, he was a member of Phi Delta Kappa Delta Nu Chapter and was the national president in 1991. Don was also an avid gun and coin collector.

The greatest attribute that his family learned from him was to put your family first, as he always did.

He is survived by his wife Susan of Plymouth; daughter Sara (Lamar) Thomas of Plymouth; son Nicholas (Lauren) Terruso of West Lafayette, IN; brother Mark Schall of Tyner; 7 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren.

Don is preceded in death by his parents George and Bernadine, and his sister Barbara Jean Terruso.
