While Teresa frequently worked to help support her family in various positions during the years, most recently as an administrative assistant at Mercy Health, Teresa’s focus was her family and friends.

She gave away her works to her many friends and family.  She enjoyed motorcycling with her husband and was a member of the Crossing Riders and also rode with the Patriot Guard as she was able. Teresa enjoyed traveling, taking cruises with her family and friends and RVing with her husband. She made many life-long friends on these trips.
