Tina Elizabeth Shull

Tina Shull peacefully passed into the loving arms of her Lord and Savior on January 22, 2016. Tina was born in Tacoma on December 3, 1942, to Edward and Donna Terrien. Tina graduated from Franklin Pierce High School in 1961, and thereafter attended Multnomah School of the Bible. Tina married Don Shull in 1967, and went on to raise their three children; Rogina, Jason and Krista, at their rural home in Midland. Tina was also a devoted and loving Grandma to her four grandchildren; Joshua, Colin, and Aaron Dietz, and Max Shull. Tina provided a home that was always open to family and friends. From Sunday Night Pizza Night and Young Life to family reunions and birthdays. Always present were the impromptu debates and laughter in her kitchen. Tina loved making memories and sharing joy. The creative cookies she made were legendary. And every holiday was celebrated with fanfare, especially April Fool's Day. Tina’s unwavering faith in God and unconditional love for others were the cornerstones of her life. She applied these principles in every aspect of her life and with everyone she met. Tina lived a selfless life serving her family and church, volunteering and helping others. She will be greatly missed. Tina is survived by her husband Don, daughters Rogina (Frank) Dietz, Krista Shull, and son Jason (Andrea) Shull; grandchildren Joshua, Colin, and Aaron Dietz, Max Shull, and cherished cousins, niece and nephews.
