Obituary for Theresita M. "Terry" Yunker

Age 86, on Saturday, October 9, 2021, surrounded by her family and angels of God. Terry was preceded in death by her parents, Victor and Amelia (Franciscus) Yunker, her sister, Margaret Mary (Donald, Sr.) Mutschler, niece Linda Mutschler Costa (Albert, Sr.) and brother Albert (Al) Yunker, Sr. She is survived by her brother, Edward (Ed) and sister-in-law , Terry (Guzel) Yunker and sister-in-law Penny Gilden (Al) Yunker. Also surviving are nieces, Margaret (Margie) Mutschler Munch, Dawn Ann (Mutschler) Stabryla (husband Joseph) and nephews, Donald, Jr. and John Mutschler. Nephew Albert Yunker, Jr. and nieces Jennifer and Maggie Yunker. Nieces Nicole Toadvine and Ashley and Samantha Mutschler. Nephews Jesse (Alyssa Williamson) and Andrew (Andy) Yunker. Great-nephews and great-nieces include: Albert, Jr. (Carmen) and Jason (Nicole) Costa, Todd and Drew (Amy) Skorich, Christopher (Lindsey) Stabryla, Kimberly Stabryla, and Marty (Corey Hart) Mutschler, and Nick Mutschler. She is also survived by 12 great-great nieces and nephews. Terry spent the bulk of her career as a secretary for the Jones & Laughlin Steel Co. Upon retirement, she began her "second act" as a life of service. While a parishioner at St. Basil's in Carrick she offered her service as a back-up parish office secretary. Her baked goods showed up as needed at parish functions and she was there every night helping at the parish festival. She sent cards to recuperating parish members and spent many hours at sick beds visiting parishioners. After moving to Bridgeville to be closer to "the boys" (Al and Ed), she seamlessly became a part of the fabric of parish life at Holy Child Church. She helped out at bingo during parish festivals and made baked goods for the nightly sales. She joined the St. Vincent de Paul Society which provides clothing, gift certificates, etc. to those experiencing hardship. At their bi-annual St. Vincent de Paul clothing drives, her baked goods would make an appearance. She also delivered Meals on Wheels and volunteered to push wheelchair-bound patients to Mass each week at Country Meadows Nursing Home. Terry leaves behind a legacy of love to her brother and all her siblings' children. She was a great friend to many people in the parish, always sending birthday cards or sitting with people if they were in the hospital. Her personal friends will greatly miss Terry's companionship. St. Therese of the Child Jesus or The Little Flower was her patron Saint. In the "Little Way of St. Therese" we all were told "to do small things with great love". That was our Theresita or "little Terry's" way. She was never flashy or did things to get attention. She just did all the things she did quietly and "with great love". In lieu of flowers, the family asks for contributions in Terry's memory to the St. Vincent de Paul Society of Corpus Christi Parish, 212 Station Street, Bridgeville, PA 15017 or to a service ministry of your choice.
