Terron Renae McGrath Van

Terron Renae McGrath Van, 31, passed away June 22, 2016 in Lacey, Washington. She was born October 16, 1984 to Terry James and Rhoda (Pittman) McGrath in Olympia, Washington. Message from Terron’s Mom My daughter Terron was a beautiful, rambunctious, outgoing, loving mother of two girls, Amerie and Ahlivia. She was a sister of Steely, Lynsey and Jeremy, each one loving the others equally. Growing up in Elma, Washington, she attended Elma Elementary and then Middle and High School. She graduated from Elma Alternative School and later attended Everest College where she graduated from dental school. Terron adored her daughters; they were the highlight of her life. She also had her husband, Nick Van, deeply embedded in her heart. She loved all her nieces and nephews; grandparents, Violet and James Pittman; cousins; aunts and uncles. Terron was a social butterfly and was in lots of sports and other activities, including baseball, soccer, Camp Fire, Awanas, and 4-H Club. Her sister Steely was usually right there with her. Terron was in two plays at Elma Theater, Alice in Wonderland and Scrooge. She loved decorating her home and doing landscaping and gardening. Terron was a beautiful human being. She got lost in a world of confusion but she was ready to make a comeback to be the wonderful, loving mom she always was, but was robbed of that. We will always have lots of happy memories of her and she will live on through her daughters forever. I love her dearly and will miss her so much all the rest of my life. Message from Terron’s Sister What I loved most about my sister and will miss the most is how she could have anyone with or without a sense of humor almost peeing in their pants from laughter when she would joke around. She was so quick witted that people would say “How the hell did she think of that?” When she would walk into a room, it was like the lighting would change from dim to ultra bright. She was spunky, beautiful, and unique. This is a loss I don’t think will ever be filled. Message from Terron’s Daughters Mom, could you come back and stay a while? We want to hear your voice and see you smile. We want to hold you tight and never let you go, And tell you how much we love you so.
