Theresa SINCLAIR Obituary
SINCLAIR,
Theresa Christine
(Age 33)
Our smiling light, Theresa, passed away unexpectedly on Friday, April 20th, 2012. Though she suffered from various afflictions, Theresa maintained a contagious cheerfulness. She simply loved people, and not knowing them was a minor and temporary inconvenience! Theresa, the oldest of the three daughters of Ed and Mary Ann Sinclair (sisters Rebecca and Marissa) was born July 22nd, 1978, in Seattle, WA. She moved with her family to Spokane in 1981. In recent years, she became quite the creator of beaded bracelets, each one graced with a cross. She called them her "prayer bracelets" and was so proud to see them displayed at her father's store (Kaufer's). Theresa's life will be celebrated in a service at St. Patrick's Church, 5021 N. Nelson, Spokane, on Saturday, April 28th at 11:30 a.m. In keeping with Theresa's spirit, colorful and celebratory attire is encouraged!

Dear Mary Ann, Ed, Marissa & Rebecca,
I can't tell you how sorry I was to hear about dear Theresa.
I will always remember when I had the pleasure of meeting & visiting with her in the hospital when JoAnn and I took a road trip to Spokane in October 2010. Theresa honored me with a gift of one of her wonderful bracelets and I "purchased" a 2nd one...both of which are safely kept with my other treasured jewelry. She also presented one of her bracelets to my cousin, Sr. Paula who was with us during our visit. We were so impressed with her work, her smiling face and her friendliness toward complete strangers.
I know that Theresa is with God now and is running and laughing with the angels! As loving and giving as she is remembered, I also imagine that if she has the supplies, she is making beautiful bracelets for all the citizens of heaven!
Please know that all of you are in my thoughts and prayers now and for the weeks and months to come!
With my love,
Nancy Holt

Dear Mary Ann, Ed, Rebecca, and Marissa,
What a heart break! All of you took such good care of Theresa, and she gave you the best of herself as well. I am glad we had the opportunity to know her at her home on Wild Rose. Much love and all of our prayers, Don and Nancy Holt PS The funeral of another special prayer warrior, Lyle Eichsteadt, will be on Saturday 28 April at 11 am, so we will be joined in prayer at the same hour.

Theresa,
How does one say good bye? You affected so many people in so many different ways. I remember telling you, use your voice through words and tell us what to do. You did, and with that voice there were times that we laughed so hard with you, sharing stories. There were times a tear or two got shed. There were even those mad moments that never lasted longer than a momemt. You were a gift, shared by many people who loved you.You will be thought of often and truely missed by all of us girls here at Lakeland. God bless you and your family
