Terry L. Soroka

It is with a heavy heart and deep sorrow that I announce the passing of my sister, Terry L. Soroka on December 16 at 5 p.m. It is a great comfort to know that she is home and at peace with our Lord, Jesus Christ.

Terry’s warmth, compassion and unwavering dedication to her family, friends and community will be remembered by all who knew her. She leaves behind a legacy of the love of music and service, that will continue to inspire others.

She was awarded 1st place in the talent contest on the piano by the panel of judges. She graduated from YSU with a bachelor’s and master’s degrees in music performance.
