Terri L. Soehnlin's Obituary
Terri Lea Soehnlin, 58, was a loving wife, mom, sister and friend. She passed away suddenly on February 16, 2022.
She was born to Don And Maisie Skeeters on September 29, 1963. Soon after HS graduation, she married the love of her life, her husband, Tommy Soehnlin on April 23, 1983. Together, they had a son, Tony of whom she loved deeply. There was nothing in this world she loved more than her family. The simplest pleasures in life brought great joy to Terri. She loved music and game nights with family and friends with a cocktail in hand. She found beauty in the spring flowers and fall leaves. Her ability to find pure happiness cuddling with her pups and kitties was delightful, and she faithfully loved her 4-legged pets and spoke of them more often than not. Terri shone with God's special light to the people around her, all the while sharing his abiding love and word with family and friends. She was a beautiful soul.
