Terry Mullins grew up in Hatfield, MA. He attended Holyoke Community College and was a graduate of the former New England Institute of Science in Boston, MA. After completing his studies in Boston, he has served in the funeral service industry for over forty-three years, working with several funeral homes in the Greater New England area. He is currently employed with the Byron Keenan Funeral Home and is looking forward to retirement next year.

Terry presently resides in East Longmeadow with his wife, Kristie, and they have three great children: Meghan Healey and her husband Brendan, Ian Mullins, and Sarah O’Donnell and her husband Quinn, who recently blessed them with their first grandchild, Murphy Anne O’Donnell. Terry’s best friend (besides his wife) is Scout, his Jack Russell Terrier.

Terry is currently a member of the Springfield Lodge of Elks, the Italian American Club of East Longmeadow, and the East Longmeadow Knights of Columbus. In his free time, he enjoys working in his yard and traveling. He is an avid sports enthusiast and enjoys playing golf.

After 27 years of playful banter about his lack of dance knowledge, ability, and rhythm, Kristie has taken a huge leap of faith by agreeing to be his partner in this wonderful benefit for St. Luke’s Church and Shriners Hospital for Children.

This endeavor has surely not come naturally to him. His hope is that he can walk off the dance floor with his head held high after entertaining the crowd and, more importantly, raising money for this worthy cause!
