Terrance 'Teri' Diane Murinko, 45

Jan. 10, 1965 - Sept. 25, 2010

Terrance "Teri" Diane Murinko unexpectedly heard her Father call her home on Saturday, Sept. 25, 2010. She was born in Butte, Mont., on Jan. 10, 1965, to Geri (Stearns) and Michael Murinko. Teri grew up playing with her baby brother and many cousins between Wallace and Spokane, Wash., where she touched many lives.

She was preceded into heaven by her little brother, Michael David Murinko, and her dad, Mike Murinko.

She is survived by her mother and stepfather, Geri and Floyd Stearns and also stepmother Judy A. Murinko. Also trying to survive without her is her four sisters, Judy Lynn and husband John Reilly, Coleen and Chris Kallbrier-Murinko, Amy and Rion Murinko. She will be greatly missed by Shelley, Steve, Tori, Zac and Josh Thomas, along with many other uncles, aunts and cousins. Teri was a terrific aunt to her nephew, Andrew Murinko and her niece, Ashlee Murinko. She easily fulfilled her newest roll as great-aunt to Noah Wayne and Mikey.

Teri had a successful career working for Washington state where she received years of recognition for her outstanding performance assisting the community on employment issues. Teri loved volunteering and making a difference in every life she touched. True to her name our beloved Teri was tender and soft spoken whose memory will fill our hearts with joy, laughter and love.

Noni, no worries, we love you and will meet you at home later.
