Terry Belanger
Biddeford

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Terry Belanger, born in Lincoln, Maine, to Waltham and Yvonne Belanger.

A graduate of Biddeford High School, Terry was drafted into the Vietnam War. Shortly after returning home, he met the love of his life, Murielle, and together they built a life and family filled with love, challenges, laughter, and treasured memories.

Terry's life was like a book with many chapters. He overcame hardships growing up, faced the challenges of his service in Vietnam and the lasting effects of those experiences, and continued forward with remarkable strength and determination. Along the way, he found happiness, celebrated many accomplishments, and touched the lives of countless people.

Terry retired from the United States Postal Service after many years of dedicated service. He continued working as a bus driver for the Biddeford School Department until he fully retired.

Although Terry had only one daughter, he became a father figure to many, especially his granddaughter, Alyssa, whom he cherished and loved unconditionally. Terry was always willing to lend a helping hand whether by offering financial support, opening his home to someone in need, or simply being there when someone needed him. His generosity, compassion, and kind heart left a lasting impression on everyone fortunate enough to know him.

He was a loyal Biddeford Tigers and New England Patriots fan who loved sharing his opinions and could always spark a lively conversation. Terry enjoyed a little friendly competition like candlepin bowling at Rollaway Lanes, playing cards, cribbage and trying his luck at the casino.

Terry's final chapter was surrounded by love, with his three girls by his side: Murielle, Angie, and Alyssa.

He will be remembered for his resilience, unwavering strength, generous heart, outspokenness, and the deep love he had for others. Though his final chapter has come to an end, his story will live on through the memories, laughter, lessons, and love shared by all who knew him.

Terry is survived by his beloved wife of many years, Murielle; his daughter, Angie; his granddaughter, Alyssa Stanley and her husband, Tom; his great-granddaughters, Lucy and Layla; his sisters, Jeanne McCabe and Arlene DeSilva; and many in-laws, nieces and nephews.

He was predeceased by his parents; his brother, James Belanger; his sister, Nancy Roberge; his son-in-law, Mark Corriveau; his parents-in-law Leandre and Armande Fecteau; his brother-in-laws Raymond, Jean-Luc and Joe Fecteau; and Don Picard, who was like a son to Terry and held a special place in his heart.

The family extends their heartfelt gratitude to Mary and Lynne from Andwell Health Partners for the exceptional compassion, kindness, and care they provided Terry and his family during his final chapter.

A Catholic Funeral Mass will be celebrated at St. Joseph's Church, Biddeford, on July 24, 2026, at 11am.
