Terrence Lee "Terry" Flaugher, 77, of Sharon, passed away Saturday afternoon, June 3, 2023, in UPMC Passavant Hospital, Pittsburgh.

Mr. Flaugher was born on November 3, 1945, in Sharon, a son of the late Scott Flaugher and Fern (Gribble) Tonks. A lifelong resident of Sharon, he began working at the age of 15, and retired from Dean Dairy Products, Sharpsville, in 2007, with 42 years of service.

Family always came first to Terry, and he cherished spending time with them. He also enjoyed hunting, fishing, traveling, good food and a crisp Miller Lite (or two).

He was a social member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Post 3767, Hubbard, OH; and the Western Reserve Fish and Game Protective Association, Mercer, where he held several different officer positions and volunteered for the Buhl Day Kid's Fishing Derby.

Terry will be remembered for his willingness to help others in need, his sense of humor and the way he would pick a good debate.

He is survived by his wife, the former Mary Gonzales, whom he married on March 14, 2012; three children, Randy (Christina) Flaugher, Tracy (Randy) Elsey, and Sharon Wallace; two stepsons, Paul and Eric Poland; nine grandchildren; five great-grandchildren with two on the way; and a step-grandson.

In addition to his parents, Terry was preceded in death by his first wife, Nancy Strawderman Flaugher, whom he married on August 31, 1962; and three siblings, Lois Perry, and Harold and Richard Tonks.
