July 26, 1952—March 8, 2020

Terrence Michael Dobberstein, 67, beloved husband of Trina, dear father of Kate, Ben (Sarah) and the late Max, brother of Janet Stewart (Edward), Lois Young (David), Steve Dobberstein, Mark Dobberstein (Doreen) and Rita Lipka (Scott), grandfather (lovingly known as “Pops”) of Maddax and Isley. 

Trina and Terry both worked at West Virginia Wesleyan College and resided in Buckhannon from 1985-2005.  Kate and Ben attended local schools and were active participants in B-UMS and B-UHS athletics. 

Terry’s natural disposition was always happy and calm and he cared about every person he met.  In the words of a special friend, “those big hands of his reached far.” 

A celebration of life will be held at a later date.  Memorial contributions may be made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
