Terry BINKS Obituary

Terry passed away peacefully on June 14, 2024, after a long and valiant health battle. Predeceased by her parents, Frank Binks and Shirley Allan, and husband William (Bill) Russell, she is survived by her brothers Bruce (Ellen), Alan, David, Robert (Lana), and Gerald, Sisters Vicki Clayards and Pat VanBuskirk (Peter), Cousin Darlene, and many more cousins, nieces, and nephews.

Terry very much loved her lengthy career as a Medical Office Assistant and took immense pride in her role assisting doctors and helping "her" patients, and she truly valued her colleagues (Marie, Jay) who quickly became her friends.

If you knew Terry, you knew that she was all about "Elvis." She returned from Graceland with an Elvis suitcase filled with memorabilia to add to her vast collection, which she happily displayed throughout her home.

Terry requested no service. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Kidney Foundation or Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.

To all of the doctors, nurses, care workers, and friends who helped, supported, and cared for Terry, "Thank you. Thank you very much."

Hey, Sis!
I hope you and Sister Vicky celebrated your 2nd Heavenly Birthday on October 21st surrounded by Family and Friends that we all love so much.

I think about you all the time and still find myself about to call or message you or Vicky to check in or share something silly.
Of course, you already know that because I´m talking to you all the time.

As I look at pictures again and again, I often laugh at what was captured wondering or trying to recall what was going on. Some are pretty hilarious! I´m so happy to have many pictures covering decades of time. It´s good for my soul to look at them and remember how wonderful you are!

Hug Gramma, Mom, and Vicky for me, Sis!
I love and miss all of you so very much.

To the Binks family....My husband Bill Rosemus passed away in 2004. My early meetings with Frank's daughters were at Uncle Louis's house on Stroud Ave. The very first xmas was when my daughter, Adrienne was just 6 weeks old. I admired with awe of Frank's daughters that one day my daughter would grow up with the Lithuanian blood running in their veins. I was so proud of any of the Binks and Rosemus's history. There was Terry, Vickie and Pat. I was so very sorry to read about her passing away in the paper. It is so sad to loose a family member. My love goes to the remaining family......Lynda Rosemus

Hey, Sis.
I am really missing our chats and visits.
While my heart is still heavy with the loss of you in my daily life, I'm comforted by my belief that you are finally free of the pain and discomfort you've courageously battled against for so long. I'm sure all of our departed loved ones gave you one heck of a welcome!
Terry, you have always been such an important person in my life. Thank you for looking out for me and our siblings from such a young age, and for rescuing me from foster care when you were only 20. I was 13 and I know that it was no easy task taking in a teenager who'd been away from family for almost five years. I often told you how grateful I was for that and I hope that over the years, when you needed someone in your life, that I was able to show my appreciation by doing all that I could to help take care of you.
I love you and I miss you, Terry.
Pat

Pat, you were the best friend and sister to Terry. Hold your memories close to your heart.
