Murrita Renee Terronez
1976 - 2020
Murrita Renee' Terronez
Murrita was only 44 years young when
she walked through Heaven's gate on July 23, 2020. Murrita was born
on May 25, 1976 in Newton, Kansas to Teddy and Charlene Rodgers. Her
life was nothing short of a miracle. She was born with a kidney
defect that was not recognized until she was around six weeks old.
Teddy and Charlene were given devastating news that she might not
make it. God had another plan in mind. She was always told that her
father walked through Heaven's gate on July 22, 1976 so she could
have a chance at life.
At the age of 2 Murrita was adopted by
Allen W. Redd. Murrita grew up around the Hutchinson/Buhler, Kansas
area, and grew up with the love from both the Rodgers and Redd
families.
Murrita continued to have her kidney
issues. She had her first couple of kidney surgeries at a young age
of 6. Life for her seemed normal after that for a while. It wasn't
until around 2002 she found out that she was in renal failure. She
received a kidney transplant in December of 2004. After her
transplant she became a type 1 diabetic. It was around 2017 that her
transplanted kidney began to fail.
She met the love of her life John T.
Terronez II when she was 17 years old while working at the Crazy
Horse Supper Club. They both worked for Cessna Aircraft for many
years together. They were married for 19 years. Murrita enjoyed
listening to music and playing card games. Her and John always
enjoyed hosting card parties at their home.
Murrita is preceded in death by her
husband John T. Terronez II; mother Charlene Beacham; father Teddy
Rodgers; nephew Justin Hull. She is survived by her dad Allen (Lynda)
Redd; sisters Janelle (Dustin) Brown, Sheri Redd; Brother James
(Shana) Buller; Step-father Lyn Beacham. Step siblings Kenny Nutt,
Shannon Lacey and Tara Wagner. And many Niece and Nephews who she
loved dearly.
A gathering and visitation with the
family will be from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Wednesday July 29, 2020 at the
Petersen Funeral Home Chapel. Memorial donations in memory of Murrita
may be made to Petersen Funeral Home to offset funeral expenses.
