September 15, 1939 – November 16, 2022 (age 83)
Therren (Terry) A. Strout, 83, passed away on Wednesday, November 16, 2022, peacefully at home. She was the wife of Lee R. Strout, celebrating their 63rd Anniversary September 7, 2022.
Born in Miami, Florida, she was the daughter of the late Anthony and Thelma (Beach) Baggett. She was raised and educated in Miami, Florida, graduating in 1958. She went on to trade school to become a Dental Assistant.
Terry met her husband by becoming his pen pal while Lee was in the Air Force. Terry’s brother, Terrell, gave Lee his sister’s address to write to. They wrote back and forth for three years, only seeing each other a total of 3 weeks over that time. They were married in Florida, living in Southborough before buying the house that use to be a Carriage House in Westborough in 1964.
Terry worked for several Dentists in Florida and Dr. Tasse in Northborough. Later she worked for Magic Decorating in Westborough, first as a bookkeeper, then Interior Decorator. She went on to work for Elegant Interiors in Northborough. In 1987 she started her own Interior Design Company, Environments until her retirement. She became an accomplished Interior Decorator, and many customers became her lifelong friends.
Terry’s faith in Jesus as her Savior, permeated every aspect of her life. It was what motivated her to use her gifts of hospitality and organization to serve and benefit the lives of others. Terry was involved in many ministries throughout her life. From being the adult leader for MYF Youth Group, making meals for crews on Habitat for Humanity projects, Sewing dresses for students in Africa, and Mission trips to Dominica and the Dominican Republic.
