Leandra Teresa Valdivieso

Dra. Valdivieso was one of my most influential Spanish professors at ASU when I was a student in the early 1990s. She taught me about Spanish literature and how to use a recent innovation called a computer to write my papers. She was like a mother to us all and we will miss her dedication and enthusiasm to our personal and professional growth.

Un cariño muy grande a Jorge y mi recuerdo mas agradecido a Teresita, una excelenteprofesora, amiga, modelo de mujer para sus discipulos.
Siempre en nuestro recuerdo
Andres y Cristina Guzzo

Mis sinceras condolencias a la familia y amigos cercanos por el reciente fallecimiento de la Profa. Valdivieso.
Respetuosamente, Lorenz Chan

Dr. Valdivieso was the best instructor I ever had. I had 5 clases with her at ASU. She was dedicated to teaching and learning and inspired her students to standards that were no less nor greater than her own. The written tribute and the spoken ones at her services today truly captured the essence of her character as closely as I have witnessed. My sympathy and my admiration for your family's great faith.

Jorge, Jesse, Elaine, Michelle, Nikki, I am very sorry for your loss. Kenny and I were so lucky to spend a few moments with Teresa and enjoyed every single minute. She was an interesting and unique person full of life and experience. I hope the Lord brings peace to your hearts and consoles your soul. Anything we can do to help you through this transition, please let us know. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers. Yvette

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of this wonderful lady. I got to know Teresa doing her hair for the last 12 years. She will be greatly missed! I send my deepest condolences to Jorge and the entire Valdivieso family.

To the entire Valdivieso family, I send my deepest condolences. I have always had great admiration for both Teresa and Jorge and all of the energy, passion and professionalism they both brought to everything they touched. Their love for Thunderbird was always apparent and we are all better for having known them both. God bless you, Jorge, in this time of sorrow.

Profesora Valdivieso was my esteemed professor of Spanish literature at ASU. She inspired, cultivated, guided and charmed us, her devoted students. We loved her for her enthusiasm, intellectual acumen, and wit. I will always remember how Profesora Valdivieso could make a ballad or play come alive! She possessed a charming grace and elegance, and had an uncanny way of sensing a student's abilities and sensibility. Profesora was so delightful and loving...Please accept my sincere condolences.

A la familia Valdivieso, los acompanyo en su pesar. A donya Teresa siempre le agradecere la amistad afectuosa que compartia con mi familia.
