Teresa Tataru Obituary
Teresa was born in Sept. 12, 1952 in Marion, Ohio. She moved to Cedar Key in 1998 where she enjoyed island life with her husband and pursued her work as an artist. Teresa spent her time creating pottery, working at Island Arts, being a member of the Spiced Girls and hanging out with her grandchildren by having sleepovers, going to the pool and enjoying wing night.
She will be missed by her husband, Terry Tataru; two children, Amber (Kelley) Ryan and Aaron (Jessica) Sloan; grandchildren, Tyler Sloan, Trevor Ryan, Kent Sloan, Macy Ryan, Tristan Sloan, Kayley Sloan, Claire Ryan and Brock Sloan; sisters, Christine Satta and Jeanne Thomas; nieces and many loving friends.

My husband and I were fortunate to be in Cedar Key again this week, and we had hoped to buy more of Teresa's lovely, whimsical artwork. We were so very sad to learn that she had died. Her sandpipers hang in our home, bringing a smile whenever we or our friends look at them. Sending our sympathies to Teresa's friends and family.

I am so very sorry. I just today, June 17th, heard that Teresa had passed. Teresa was such a happy and fun loving person and I am again so very sorry. Prayers to her family.

Mrs. Teresa was such a lovely woman. I always enjoyed waiting on her and Mr. Terry. She was always so pleasant and kind. I will miss her dearly.

My first girlfriend, back in Marion, Ohio, during our years in the Marion Cadets Drum and Bugle Corps. She had a wonderful sense of humor and was quite good at marching and handling color guard equipment in the corps. We dated for the better part of two years and most of my memories of her are fond ones. She is missed by her many friends in Marion and in the drum corps. My heart goes out to her family and friends.
