It is with great sadness that MCVRC is announcing the loss of our great friend and colleague, Terinthia Buckner, affectionately known as Tee. Tee passed away last week. Her beautiful spirit made a huge impact on all of here at MCVRC and she will be greatly missed.

Well known in the Victim Services community, Tee was a wonderful colleague dedicated to her clients and the mission of supporting the rights of victims in Maryland. She served her clients with dignity and respect.

Service honoring the life, memory and legacy of Terinthia Buckner will be held this Friday, June 15th. The viewing is from 9:30 - 10:30am with Mass, burial and repast to follow at the St. Bernadine's Catholic Church, 2400 Brooks Drive in Suitland, MD.
