Terrence "Terry" Joseph Lemerond, 88, of De Pere, Wisconsin, entered eternal life with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, after passing unexpectedly at St. Vincent Hospital, Green Bay, WI on September 3, 2026.

Terry was born on May 20, 1938, to the late Olive (Delfosse) and Alfred Lemerond in Green Bay, Wisconsin. He attended Ss. Peter and Paul Catholic Grade School. He graduated from Our Lady of Premontre High School in 1956. He enjoyed his status as the first graduate to receive a diploma from Our Lady of Premontre High School, given that the students were arranged in order from shortest to tallest, making Terry "first in line". Upon applying to St. Norbert College following high school, Terry was told by the Dean that his grades and knowledge indicated he would likely be unsuccessful in college, but Terry was not going to let someone else's opinion determine his destiny. Determined to make the most of himself, Terry joined the United States Marine Corps, served at Camp Pendleton, and spent 2 1/2 years stationed in Okinawa. Following his service, Terry returned to Green Bay. On February 10, 1962, he married Marilyn Marinan and they had two children, Brad and Teppie. He began working at Bay Natural Foods, a decision that would open the door to a successful future in the natural health industry.

A man of deep faith, Terry often shared the story of the three "angels" who helped put him on the path to his life's purpose. The first was Father Albin Veszelovszky, a much-admired priest serving St. Willebrord Parish, who challenged him to make meaningful changes in his life. The second was his Marine Corps Captain, Ed Vito, who introduced him to his first health food store in Oceanside, California, and instilled in him the value of good nutrition and exercise. And the third was Clare Delsmann, owner of Bay Natural Foods, who gave Terry an opportunity that would change his life. Terry worked alongside Clare for years-often without pay while supporting himself and his family through night shifts at Hudson-Sharp machine shop-before eventually purchasing Bay Natural Foods, the first of many successful businesses he would own.

Terry went on to establish Enzymatic Therapy, Inc., in 1981 and EuroPharma, Inc., in 2003. The parent company of the Terry Naturally brand of supplements. He also owned the Terry Naturally Health Food stores in Green Bay and Howard. Over his impressive career, Terry formulated more than 500 products and helped shape the modern dietary supplement landscape. He hosted a weekend radio show for over 30 years, was a highly sought-after speaker and accomplished author, and was inducted into the New Hope Network's Hall of Legends, which honors the natural product industry's greatest contributors. Yet perhaps his greatest legacy can be found in the countless people whose lives were touched by his work. From those who found renewed hope and improved well-being through his products, to those who were inspired by his passion for helping others. People near and far remain deeply grateful to Terry for the difference he made in their lives.

Terry was a world traveler, always seeking meaningful connections with others who shared his passion for healthy living and in search of greater knowledge and the best ingredients for his dietary supplement formulas. He loved to travel to exotic places, immersing himself in different cultures and learning about different ways of life. Terry traveled extensively. There were few corners of the world where he was not acquainted with a colleague or friend. The Delta agents at Austin Straubel Airport knew Terry by name and were always happy to greet him as he set off on his next adventure.

Terry's life was marked by his dedication to God, his family, and his work, as well as his genuine love for people. Family meant everything to Terry. He loved his children and grandchildren deeply and took great joy in sharing in their accomplishments and the special moments of their lives. He cherished the time he spent with each of them, from Saturday morning coffee with his son, Brad, to Sunday mornings at his daughter, Teppie's home.

Quietly generous, Terry provided financial support to many individuals and worthy causes. He valued his employees and took great joy in celebrating important moments with them, especially birthdays, which he never let pass without a personal song or heartfelt message. One of his proudest moments was revealing that EuroPharma had become an employee-owned company, placing its future in the hands of the people who had helped him build it.

Terry is survived by his daughter and son-in-law, Stefanie "Teppie" and Matt Schueller; daughter-in-law, Stephanie Lemerond; and grandchildren, Roman Lemerond (Salomé Gueroult) and Angelique Lemerond (Benoit Le Du), Anna Schueller (Max Messina) and Clare Schueller.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Alfred and Olive Lemerond; his sister, Muriel Johnson; his son, Bradley Lemerond; and his beloved dogs, Buddy and Bella. Terry will also be deeply missed his family, many friends, colleagues, customers, and cherished Terry Naturally family.

A special thank you and deep gratitude to Jeannie Vlies, Nan Macy, and Mary Reichwald who over the years, each in their own special way, have cared for, supported and had a deep friendship with Terry. Thank you to Dr. Peter Falk and the entire staff at St. Vincent and St. Mary's Hospitals. Their kindness, support, and gentleness with Terry was exceptional.

Terry's legacy lives on in the countless lives he touched, the businesses he built, and the mission he championed-to help people live healthier, fuller lives. His enthusiasm, generosity, and unwavering sense of purpose will continue to inspire all who knew him.

The Lord says, "I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust in my name. When they call on me, I will answer; I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue and honor them. I will reward them with a long life and give them my salvation."
(NLT Psalm 91: 14-16)
