Teresa passed away peacefully in her 95th year surrounded by her loved ones. She was a bright spark in this world and will be deeply missed by all. The simplest of pleasures in life brought great joy and happiness to Teresa. She shared a quiet life with her beloved husband Fred (deceased April 22, 2021). Teresa and Fred took great pride in their family and faith, and together they shared their passion for gardening and music. Teresa was wonderfully witty and creative, and she touched all with her kindness.
