Terri Jo Rinas (Mullan) passed away peacefully on May 19th at Sanford Medical Center in Fargo North Dakota surrounded by the love of her family after attending her grandson Caleb’s graduation from North Dakota State University.

Terri was born to Richard and Patricia (Seney) Mullan on November 3rd, 1949, in Chehalis, Washington. She was first and foremost a Christian, devoted mother, grandmother, and the heart of a large and loving family.

Terri leaves behind four siblings, Scott Mullan, Kristi (Art) Parker, Mike (Amy) Mullan and Mark Mullan. She was preceded in death by her parents and her brother, Rick Mullan.

She walked closely with the Lord every day, and her faith was the foundation upon which she built her life. In addition to raising her family, Terri was a successful business owner whose hard work, determination, and strength inspired those around her. She lived a full and meaningful life centered on family, love, and creating lasting memories with the people she cared about most. She will be remembered for her generous spirit, resilience, deep love for her family, and the warmth she brought wherever she went. Her legacy lives on through her children, grandchildren, and all who were fortunate enough to know and love her.

She lived an amazing life and will be deeply missed.
