Terrea Lee Weishaar

Terrea Lee Weishaar was born on March 31, 1953 in Odessa to Warren and Susan Weishaar. She passed away on September 4, 2016 in Spokane.

Before her illness set in, Terrea enjoyed outdoor activities. Competitive downhill ski racing and Nordic skiing were her favorite winter activities, and in the summer she spent her leisure time swimming and water skiing. During college, Terrea worked as a lifeguard and swimming instructor in Oregon where she attended Oregon State University. She later attended and graduated from Washington State University in Pullman. While there, Terrea worked at the Pullman newspaper as a photographer, columnist and part-time editor. Terrea also worked as a legal secretary in Walla Walla and as a substitute school teacher in Seattle.

As her illness progressed, Terrea moved back to the farm to be with her family. For the last two years of her life, Terrea was compassionately cared for by Seniors in Motion in Spokane.

Terrea is survived by her brothers, Michael in Davenport, Barry in Spokane, and a nephew, Robert Ray in Georgia. She was preceded in death by her parents, her sister, Melissa Ray, and her brother, John.

A gravesite service will be held September 24, 2016 at 11 a.m. at the Hillcrest Cemetery in Harrington. Pastor Jon Hayashi from Heritage Church in Odessa will officiate the service.
