Delton “Tee” J. Terro, 89, of LaBelle passed away Friday, June 18, 2021. He was born on May 13, 1932 in Indian Bayou, Louisiana to the late Clomart Terro and Teresa Trouve.
Delton was a faithful member of St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Fannett, and more recently Little Flower Catholic Church in Port Arthur. He was also a member of the Knights of Columbus - 3195 St. Christopher Council of Port Arthur. He began working in multiple fields of construction from a young age until he went on to become a barber.
