Together for Terry and Mary: A Community's Love

Friday September 27th, a tragedy struck our community! Unfortunately one of our own families got that heartbreaking phone call.

Mary and Terry Neudeck life long residents of Portville were involved in a MVA. Unfortunately with heartbreaking news to the family and community Mary did not survive.

Terry was Mercy Flighted to ECMC where he is listed in critical condition yet stable. His injuries include a compound break to his arm, broken ankle, broken pelvis. He has now opened his eyes, shown signs of communication through Morse Code and gone through 1 surgery successfully. He awaits to have his non life threatening Broken arm surgery.

Regrettably, he painfully remeberred some of the accident. He is now aware of Mary’s passing.

When people like Mary and Terry play such a meaningful role in their community, its those who love them dearly by all who know them is when we believe that strength in numbers Is what covers Terry, Denah, Jeremy, Dustin, Leslie and this whole family in Prayer!!

These 2 emulate what it takes to have in a strong, FUN, loving, caring marriage that they built there life on! How to love others, their community, firehouse, family BUT Nothing was more special to them than the kids and those grandkids!!

I think something we can all do in Mary’s honor is Love the way she loved, GIVE A HELLO TO THE STRANGER IN THE STORE, fight for those you love, always be someone’s light when the world seems so dark and dull and PAY IT FORWARD!!

SHE WAS A HUGE BRIGHT LIGHT IN OUR COMMUNITY, LOVED BY ALL WHO KNEW HER! Let a piece of her light shine on through all of us!

Terry— FIGHT LIKE HELL!!! We are all praying for a strong recovery!!

Love you Mary and you will be so missed!!!

As a community we can help relief some of the financial burden. This is a tragedy in all shapes and forms! They both have touched all of our lives in so many ways!

Per the family requests, at this time all donations in Lieu of flowers for Mary or to the family for any financial expenses via funeral expenses, Hotels, future medical bills, travel, etc for this unfortunate tragic even I have set up a GO Fund Me to help offset in the future. No amount is to little.

Thank you to everyone for your prayers and support. Terry is continuing to show signs of improvement and will have a long road to recovery! We appreciate any help you can give to support #Neudeckstrong at this time.

There will be a Celebration of Life for Mary Neudeck at a later date TBD.
