TERRANCE, FRANK WILFRED
Frank Wilfred Terrance was born on September 26, 1931, in Mix, Louisiana to 
the late Joseph and Hazel Bridgewater Terrance. Wilfred as he was called by 
most departed this earthly life on August 3, 2013 to enter into to the rest 
God promised him for his labor here on earth. He was joined in marriage to 
Lula Jackson Terrance on February 26, 1950 from this union six children 
were born, Betty (John) Jeanpierre, Charles (Sharon) Terrance, Pearl 
(Lawrence, Jr.) Smith, Rev. Carl (Erma) Terrance, Sr., Marilyn (Randy) 
Cooks, and Loetta (Henry) Houston. Wilfred was baptized into the Catholic 
faith as an infant and was a member of Saint Augustine Catholic Church. He 
was baptized at Greater Saint Peter Baptist Church by Rev. Norwood T. 
Calvin. As a member of Greater Saint Peter Baptist Church he faithfully 
attended Bible Study and Sunday School and served as the church's volunteer 
maintenance man until his health began to fail. He worked very hard to 
provide for his family by working at the Cottonseed Oil Mill in New Roads, 
various construction companies, and finally Wiese Construction, which later 
changed its name to J.E. Merit. In 1993, Wilfred retired from J.E. Merit, 
but he continued to work. He would rise up early in the morning and make 
himself busy in his garden, doing yard work, taking his daily walk, and 
finding time to help someone else along the way. He would share stories 
with his grandchildren and great-children about his childhood in Mix, 
making a garden, and working in Exxon. He leaves to cherish his legacy: six 
children & one special angel, Adrienne (Michael) Cooks Lewis; one aunt,
