James D. Terbush and Mary
Helen Sheppard were joined in marriage September 6, 1959 in
Laverne, OK.
Jim completed his trade school at Oklahoma Barber College in December of the same year and Helen completed her training at State Beauty College in January 1960.
They moved to Tonkawa in April 1960 and Jim went to work for his great uncle, A. B. Kimberly at “Slicks Barber Shop”, which he later purchased and eventually bought the building at 204 E. Grand. Helen was a stay at home mom and together they raised three children. She later owned and operated her own shop next door to Jim’s.
Their children, Stewart Terbush (Dee), Shannon Hobbs (Dan), Shari Gierhart (Danny), grandchildren and great-grandchildren will honor them at a family dinner Sunday, September 8.
