Teresa Kocsis-Szucs Obituary
Maria Teresa Rosaria (Renzullo) Kocsis-Szucs, age 86, passed away in her sleep in the early morning hours of June 8, 2021. Born August 6,1934 in Naples, Italy, she was the oldest of five children growing up in Bologna. She married Ferenc K. Szucs and they emigrated from Italy to the United States in the 1960s. She raised two children in New Castle, Pennsylvania, and later moved to Clearwater, Florida, in 1979. She worked for Pinellas County Teacher's Credit Union and then Bankers Life and Casualty for many years. In 1994 she became a small business owner. In 2005 she retired from running Crash and Burn, a small punk rock store started by her son, in Clearwater, Florida and moved to Atlanta. In Atlanta she worked in childcare at East Lake Family YMCA, then volunteered at St Luke's Episcopal Church and at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, Egleston Campus.
She always enjoyed a good espresso, loved mentoring young people, was an avid reader, and a friend to all. Teresa is survived by her brother, Piero Renzullo, her two children, Julianna Keslar and Frank Kocsisszucs, his wife Hilary, and Teresa's grandchildren Hunter, Harrison, Helena, and Max.
A celebration of her life will be held on June 26, 2021 for family and friends at the Kocsisszucs residence.

I am very sad I missed the opportunity to celebrate this special woman. She welcomed me into the store as a teen and made me feel heard and loved. She offered kind words of advice and encouragement.

Some of my best memories are going to Crash & Burn and talking to your mother like buying Mad Max boots and Oi CDs was as boring as a church tea. She was so cool and so sweet and was absolutely nobody's fool. She was in charge of that joint when Frank went to Atlanta and nobody would dare say otherwise. So many of us of a certain age spent a lot of time in that shop where it felt more like home than our actual homes. I miss her.

Teresa was an amazing volunteer in the Egleston Family Library. She was a blessing to many. She was devoted to her family. I know you will cherish the many memories that you have of time together. May God bless you all in this time of sorrow.

Ms. Teresa was a patient of ours in Cardiology here at Emory. I have known her for a long time. She was a dear and sweet lady. I always enjoyed our "chats" when she came in. I am glad that she had moved to a new place that she enjoyed. I will miss her very much.
