Terrie Flink Obituary
July 24, 1960 - April 1, 2025
Terrie Len Flink was born on 7/24/1960 and passed away peacefully of natural causes at her home in Missoula on 4/1/2025. She was preceded in death by her loving parents, Don (Booth) Flink and Len Flink, and her only sibling, sister Sheri (Flink) McCollum-Meyer, all of Missoula. She leaves behind a niece and nephew, Tami and Tom Hengel, of Missoula, and, in a private family ceremony, Terrie was interred with her parents and sister at the Missoula Cemetery.
Terrie was a beloved, vibrant redhead and will be remembered by many. She was an early bookkeeper at Wykman's Office Supply and was a beloved dog groomer with her Poodle Party business and outwardly exhibited her devoted love to her two "kids"-- Gracie and Bethany, her two black toy poodles! She graciously cleaned homes of long-time Missoula friends and served us many food samples alongside with her special CDS team at Costco. With her strong faith in God and Jesus Christ, she recently celebrated her baptism with close friends on her favorite beach in Hawaii. For those who knew and loved her, we encourage you to remember her in love and light.
There will be a Celebration of Life dessert/appetizer potluck on July 31st at 5:30 p.m. at 11 Greenbrier Drive in Missoula at 5:30 p.m. Please RSVP by July 29 to 406-239-5899 or [email protected]. At Terrie's request, if you'd like to leave a donation in her name, please do so to Teen Challenge or the Humane Society of Western Montana.

Terrie was a very kind and compassionate person, and she will be deeply missed. She groomed our dogs when she had her Poodle Party business, and I will always remember her driving them, freshly groomed, to our wedding reception so my husband and I could have photos taken with them. It was always a pleasure to see her at Costco. Costco won´t be quite the same without her smiling face and cheerful personality. Rest in peace, Terrie.

I not only remember her at Costco, I remember her from a criminology class. We had some great conversation in that class. I remember her sweet gentle nature. Rest in the loving arms of Jesus. You will be missed.

I've known Terrie for most of my life. We went to school together, first grade through High School. I also worked with her at Wyckmams. Terrie was always a caring, giving, and nice person who would go out of her way to engage in conversation with you. We saw her a lot over the years and her kindness will be missed. Regretfully I'll be out of town for the get together. Rest in peace Terrie

Terrie and I have known each other for 25 years. She had an infectious laugh, loved life and was crazy about her black poodle "kids" (both currently up for adoption). She loved her clients (all of the people whose homes she cleaned, whose dogs she groomed, and those she served samples to at Costco). She had such a good heart and focused on loving people and being kind. I was honored to be her friend and grateful for the gift she was to me.
