Terry Jay Page
May 17, 1940 – February 24, 2026
Terry Jay Page, age 85, of Bagley, passed away at his home on Feb. 24, 2026.
He was born in Janesville to the late Jay and Enid Page, on May 17, 1940.
He and his family lived in rural Emerald Grove, Wisconsin where they enjoyed the peaceful, country life.
Growing up, Terry attended the Emerald Grove School, a one room schoolhouse for his early education. He learned the meaning of hard work by helping neighboring farms.
He graduated from Janesville Senior High School in 1957. From 1958 to 1960, he enlisted in the U.S. Army and was stationed at Ft. Knox, Kentucky.
After completing his military service, he returned home and began working at the General Motors plant in Janesville. And renewed his relationship with Karen Schreiber who became the love of his life.
They were married in 1962 and enjoyed a loving marriage of 62 years. Together, they successfully owned and operated an A&W drive-in, located in Janesville. In 1972, they moved to Wyalusing (Bagley), Wisconsin, with their three boys and opened Page’s Hid N’ View Campgrounds. Their love of the area, and especially the river, became the perfect place to raise their family and meet so many people with whom they began long lasting friendships. They enjoyed hunting, fishing, boating, snowmobiling, and traveling. Terry became an independent agent and sold insurance for Rural Mutual Insurance Company. He also served his community as a member of the town board and as the Wyalusing township tax assessor for many years.
After retiring, he received a real estate license and enjoyed selling property. Terry and Karen enjoyed their retirement by exploring America, and they had many fishing trips together.
As we say goodbye to Terry, we celebrate the life of a man who will be remembered for his strength, wisdom, and love for his community, family, and friends. His legacy is one of true friendships, a loving father, and a devoted husband. His memory will be held close in our hearts as we celebrate a life well lived. He is at peace and reunited with Karen.
Terry is survived by his three sons, Mark Page, Bryan (Rhonda) Page, and Greg (Shelly) Page; four grandchildren, Garrett, Jordan, Logan, and Jacob.
He was welcomed home after his wife, Karen; parents, Jay and Enid; brother, David; and sister, Patricia.
Honoring his wishes, a private family ceremony will be held at a later date.
