Margaret “Margie” Terry, 71, of Sebastian, Florida, passed away peacefully on November 8, 2025.
Margie was born on December 31, 1953, in Plainfield, New Jersey, to John and Margaret (Hussey) Ruane. She graduated from Plainfield High School.
In 1968, when her family purchased a home on Long Beach Island, Margie found a place that would forever feel like home. Summers on L.B.I. became some of the most beautiful chapters of her life. She later shared those sunlit days with her children, Scott and Cory, creating memories at the “Joshua Ave house” that were filled with laughter, tradition and a deep sense of belonging.
The shore was Margie’s summer sanctuary. She loved the warmth of the sun, softness of the sand and the simple joy of being near the water. One of her happiest memories was catching a record setting 13½-pound, 36-inch bluefish for the town of Beach Haven. A story she proudly retold throughout her life. Those summers by the sea remained close to her heart, shaping who she was and how she loved.
In 1986, Margie moved to Vero Beach, Florida. For more than 20 years, she welcomed guests at Bobby’s Restaurant with her warm smile and kind nature. She had a special way of making people feel comfortable and over the years she formed many lasting friendships with those who crossed her path.
Margie will be remembered for her gentle spirit, kindness and the love she shared so easily with those around her. Her presence brought comfort and joy and her memory will continue to be held close by all who knew her.
She is survived by her son, Cory Terry and her brother, Kevin (Kathy) Ruane. She was predeceased by her son, Scott Christopher Terry and her brothers, Paul and Jack Ruane.
At the request of the family, services will be private.
