(1952 - 2011)
Terrye Felsman Kizlyk, 59, of Cedar Falls, Iowa, and formerly of Waupun, passed away on Saturday, Dec. 31, 2011, at Sun Coast Hospice House in Palm Harbor, Fla. after a courageous battle with cancer.
Terrye was born on March 16, 1952, in Waupun, the daughter of Robert and Bette Landaal Felsman.
Terrye attended Waupun schools and graduated from Waupun High School in 1970.
On Dec. 30, 1975, she married Merv Kizlyk in Beaver Dam. They resided in Welland, Ontario, Canada for 16 years and then moved to Cedar Falls, Iowa.
Terrye and Merv also have a home in Clearwater, Fla. where they developed many fond memories since 1988. Their latest adventure was travelling extensively across the United States in their beloved RV, named, "Eddie."
Terrye lived her life to the fullest. She always put her husband and family first and she dedicated her life to raising three super boys. Her latest pride and joy were her grandchildren.
Terrye was never afraid to try something new, including criss-crossing the country in their RV for the last 8 months, exploring and making new friends.
Right until the very end, she was full of optimism and energy, including getting the complete family together for Christmas and taking the grandchildren to Disney World just four days before entering Heaven.
Terrye will be missed very much by her family and friends. She is now in God's hands looking after us. We love you Terrye very much. God Bless you.
Terrye is survived by her beloved husband of 36 years, Merv Kizlyk of Cedar Falls, Iowa; three wonderful sons that she was very proud of: Shane Rux of Dunedin, Fla. and his girlfriend, Julie Thompson, Chad (Laurie) Kizlyk of Welland, Ontario, Canada, and Darrick (Shannon) Kizlyk of Colorado Springs, Colo.; three grandchildren: Kayla, Colten, and Landon Kizlyk whom she greatly loved and who hold a special place in her heart; a sister, Joyel Ansorge of Mentor, Ohio; two brothers, Blaine (Laura) Felsman of Oshkosh and Bradd (Kristin) Felsman of Milwaukee; two aunts, Lois Brewer of Waupun, and Karyl Van Den Hoek of Waupun.
Terrye was preceded in death by her Dad in 1994, and her Mother in 2010.
