Herbert L. Derryberry Obituary

Logansport, IN - Herbert L. Derryberry, 84, Logansport, Indiana, was received into the arms of his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, when he left this life Tuesday evening, June 16, 2025, in Woodbridge Health Campus.

Born Jan. 8, 1941, in Conley, Oklahoma, he was the son of the late William Henry and Lucille (Adams) Derryberry.

On June 16, 1962, at the Columbia Street Church of Christ, he was married to Ruth (Hall) Derryberry, who preceded him in death Dec. 11, 1994. He was married April 4, 1998, in the Yorktown Road Church of Christ, to Nancy Lee (Harris) Derryberry, who survives.

Herb enlisted in the U.S. Air Force while still in high school, serving from 1958 to 1962, including a year overseas. Before retiring, Herb worked on the production line at the Kokomo Chrysler plant.

Herb was a dedicated member of the Yorktown Road Church of Christ, serving as an Elder, and also officiating at countless funerals, offering words of hope to grieving families. An avid outdoorsman, he found joy in hunting and fishing. Known as a true Mr. Fix-It, there wasn't much he couldn't repair, and he loved spending time tinkering in his garage.

Surviving with his wife, Nancy, are his son, Steven (Cynde) Derryberry; his daughter, Kathy Thomas; two stepchildren, Susan (Brian) Warwick and Larry Sullivan, Jr.; several grandchildren and great-grandchildren; as well as many nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by sister, Faye Richardson; and brothers, Fred, Neal Wayne, Billy Ray, Loye Winifred and James Lloyd Derryberry.

Visitation will be from 6:30 - 8 p.m. Sunday, June 22, in Fisher Funeral Chapel.

A Funeral Service will be held 1 p.m. Monday, June 23, at the Yorktown Road Church of Christ, with Tony Lalli officiating. Visitation will be held at the church on Monday from 11 a.m. until the time of the service.

Burial, with military honors, will be held in Ever-Rest Memorial Park.
