Theresa Gadut Obituary

Gadut, Theresa Marie
Theresa Marie "Terri" Gadut, 62, passed away June 17, 2009, after a brief but valiant battle with leukemia. Born September 26, 1946, in Pasadena, California, daughter of Lucy M. Buligan of Hacienda Heights, California, and the late Danny G. Gadut. Terri was an artist and the jokester of the family and her humor will be remembered. She worked in the Santa Barbara area several years ago, with designers and manufacturers in the fledgling computer industry, as an assembler of proto-type printed circuit boards. Our sister is survived by her Mother; brothers Danny Gadut and Pat Gadut; sisters Donna Messick, Barbara Cross, Judie Sherwood, Alice Ramos, and Juliana Buligan. Beloved "Auntie Tar" will be missed by nephews Pete Johnson, Patrick Gadut, Arthur Gadut, Matthew Gadut, and Anthony Meza; nieces Diana Kelley, Julia Huang, Amber Elder, and Renee Gadut; grandnieces Sarah Kelley and Brianna Gadut; and grandnephews Joseph Gadut, T.J. Elder and Josh Elder.

A memorial will be held later this year in the Santa Barbara area.

In lieu of flowers, Terri's family requests contributions to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, or to the cancer research organization of your choice.

Terry - We should have gone to more "Flip" restaurants and discussed more books! I'm reading some books that I'm sure you would love and I wish I could share them with you. I miss you more as each day passes.

Love, Donna
