RICHMOND, Va. (BP)--Co-workers remember International Mission Board missionary Teri Tarleton as a devoted mother and wife with a love for music and ministry among the children of missionaries in Russia.
Tarleton, 49, died July 28 from a pulmonary embolism in both lungs in her home in Moscow.
The IMB appointed Teri and her husband, Ed, to the mission field nearly 15 years ago. She sang in the church choir and was an accomplished bassoon player. Born in Phoenixville, Pa., she graduated from Oklahoma Baptist University with a music degree.
While her primary ministry involved her family and church, she also ministered to missionary kids (MKs) in Russia as an education consultant.
“Teri had an incredible love for missionary kids and repeatedly touched the [lives of MKs in Russia] in phenomenal ways,” said Robin Covington, a longtime friend and missionary colleague.
“Teri’s main desire for our Russian field was twofold,” said Buck Burch, another colleague. “[She had] a burning desire to see the lost come to Christ and an unwavering belief in the witness of a godly family.
“To Teri, we weren’t just missionaries; we were a missionary family.”
Besides her husband, she is survived by a son, Adam, 21; daughters, Anna, 19, and twins, Rachel and Rebecca, 17. She also is survived by her parents, Russell and Betty Halliger of Park Hill, Okla.
The family asks that in lieu of flowers, donations be sent in honor of Teri Tarleton to the International Mission Board for the ongoing task of missions work around the world. Send donations to International Mission Board, Teri Tarleton memorial donation, PO Box 6767, Richmond, VA 23230-0767.
Her funeral will be held Tuesday, Aug. 5 at 10 a.m. at Nicoma Park First Baptist Church, 1931 Nichols Dr., Nicoma Park, Okla. Arrangements are being handled by Barnes Friederich Funeral Home, 1820 S. Douglas Blvd., Midwest City, Okla. 73130.
