Terry R McClarren, age 78 of Pensacola, FL passed away peacefully on Wednesday, June 26, 2019. He was born June 17, 1941 to Ralph and Marjorie McClarren in Abington, PA.
In 1961 Terry moved to Pensacola to take a job with St Regis Paper Company. While he was here he met the love of his life on a blind date and they later adopted two children.
Over the course of his life while living here, he also worked for IBM and the Escambia County School District. During his spare time, he was very involved in his children’s activities as well as Boy Scouts and the Optimist Club. This continued until well after he retired until his health declined.
