Terry was born May 21, 1949, in Elgin, the son of Jacob and Magdalen (Hopfauf) Hellman. He grew up on the family farm south of Glen Ullin. Terry graduated from Glen Ullin High School and continued his education at Dickinson State College, where he earned his bachelor of science degree in elementary education and master's in school administration at Northern State University, Aberdeen, S.D. He met his wife, Lyvon Pfau, at Dickinson State College and they were married in Mandan on Nov. 26, 1971.
A high point for Terry and his family were the family vacations to various parts of the United States. His talent in the kitchen led to many hours of enjoyment spent making meals from scratch, German dinners for family, or pancake breakfasts for the community. Terry enjoyed the simple pleasures of life, such as spending time with his family, playing cards and watching the Twins. He was an avid reader and enjoyed watching history-related movies.
As a teacher, his love and devotion to his students was evident in his 31 years teaching at Mary Stark Elementary School and St. Joseph Catholic School, where he was also a principal for three years. This generous and humble man will be remembered and greatly missed by his friends and family.
Terry devoted many hours to his community as a member of the Knights of Columbus Council 2760, and the Jaycees. He was also an active member of the St. Joseph Men's Society (rural Glen Ullin), Mandan Education Association, North Dakota Education Association, Mandan Eagles and St. Joseph Catholic Church, Mandan, where he coordinated many meals for St. Joseph Parish and School.
He is survived by his wife, Lyvon, Mandan; two daughters and one son-in-law, Shaylynn MacKay, Mandan, and Sandi (Mike) Braddy, Minneapolis; five sisters and two brothers-in-law, Angie Doll, New Salem, Lorraine Schirado, Glen Ullin, Lillian (Leo) Johs, Jamestown, Jan Bond, Bismarck, and Mary Ann (Mike) Adams, Ankenny, Iowa; two brothers and sisters-in-law, Duane (Irene) Hellman, Mandan, and Art (Pauline) Hellman, Glen Ullin; one brother and sister-in-law, Bill and Deb Pfau, Mandan; and numerous nieces and nephews and extended family members.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Jacob and Magdalen; his father and mother-in-law, Tony and Rose Pfau; and three brothers-in-law, Jack Doll, Tony Schirado and Roger (Tim) Bond.
