Terry "Gene" Wallace

Gene is survived by his wife, Vanda Goins Wallace; his children Leigh Wallace Varner (Greg), Christy Wallace Sanders (Matthew), and Terry Eugene Wallace Jr. "Goldberg" (Raeden), his grandchildren Lani Varner, Jaci Wallace, Clayton Varner, Jake Scott, and Stella Scott; his mother Katherine Smith Wallace; his sister Eleanor Wallace Cantrell (Bruce), his father and mother-in-law Bob and Mary Helen Goins; his sisters-in-law Vicky Riley and Valerie Goins. Gene also leaves a host of nieces, nephews, and friends to cherish his memory.

Gene was preceded in death by his father Garland "Buck" Wallace.

Gene loved to piddle and make "loops". He was always stirring things up. It tickled him when he was mistaken for Kenny Rogers and he jumped on the opportunity to sing one of his songs. Known as the Sheriff of Fayetteville, he has many friends far and wide.
