Teresa "Teri" Lynn (Oliver) Einan of Kennewick, WA entered into eternal rest in the arms of her Heavenly Father in November 12, 2018 after a short illness. On May 2, 1950, Teri was the third child born to Jack and Barbara Oliver in Pasco, WA. In 1968, she was the third generation of her family to graduate from Kennewick High School. She went on to study European Art and Architecture at the Dayton Art Institute in Ohio and Western Europe. Teri then graduated from cosmetology school and had a long and award-winning career in hair styling. If you were to ask her what her greatest achievement in life was, she would say it was her daughter, Merrick Lynn. They spent many years being partners in crime, laughing, singing, dancing, crafting and taking late-night trips to Taco Bell. 20 years ago, she married the love of her life, Steve Einan and gained her son, Russ along with him. She loved her "cowboy" and the adventures they had traveling and being billet Mom and Dad for players from the Tri-City Americans. Teri was a fabulous cook and absolutely loved having a house full of hungry boys to feed. In 2011, the greatest joy of her life was born, their granddaughter, Emily. Emy and her Nana spent seven years together learning, giggling and playing. Anyone who ran into her would hear all about the latest and greatest about "the princess". Teri's heart was larger than life and she lived her life in service. Whether it was taking in her kids' friends as if they were her own, loving on her friends and extended family or volunteering for hospital guilds, the Miss Tri-Cities Scholarship Organization, The Tri-Cities Cancer Center, her church, sewing angel gown for infant burial or donating time, money or goods to tragedies or disaster relief, it's almost a wonder she had time or talents left over for anything else. However, just a week before her untimely passing, she retired from a 30+ year career of working for Mueller's Funeral Homes, helping others say goodbye to their loved ones. Teri was preceded in death by her father, Jack Verle Oliver, mother Barbara Marshall Oliver, brothers Jack and Marshall Oliver and brother-in-law Eric Einan. She is survived by her husband, Steven Einan, daughter Merrick (Corey) Kingman of Puyallup, WA, son Russell (Nicole) and granddaughter Emily Einan of Pasco, WA, brother Paul Oliver of Kennewick, sister-in-Law Jane Oliver of Fair Oaks, CA, Sister-in-law Linda (Marc) Stairet and brother in law David (Martha) Einan of Richland, WA, 11 nieces and nephews, too many cousins to count and a lifetime of friends and family. A celebration of life will be held on Saturday, November 17, 2018 at 1:00 PM at Mueller's Chapel of the Falls funeral home. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the Carson Kolzig Foundation, Bethlehem Lutheran School of Kennewick, WA or your favorite charity.
