Terence John Stevens

Terry died on the 2nd December 2022 in Darwin Hospital. We had a memorial service on the 19th January 2023 in Perth. We said our final goodbyes on the 9th November 2023 on board the Majestic Princess with a sea burial.

The Pacific Ocean. Terry loved the ocean so it seemed only fitting to give him a sea burial.

Terry was born on the 27th March 1934 in Camberwell England. He was one of nine children. Times were hard during his childhood and during WW11 was evacuated four times. When he was eighteen he was called up to do his national service and during that time spent eighteen months in Egypt on active service. After leaving the army he joined the merchant navy for nine years. We married in England in 1967. We moved to New Zealand in 1970 we finally settled in Perth Western Australia in 1977. Terry loved the ocean so we did many cruises after he retired. He was a wonderful father to our daughters Amanda and Beverley, father-in-law to Michael and Bryan and grandfather to Rehn, Madison, Mitchell, Lachlan and Cohen. He loved tham all dearly. Terry was my husband for 56 years. He was my rock and I miss him so much.
