Teresa Williams Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Feb. 15, 2025.
Teresa Ann Williams, 64, of Cicero, New York, passed away on February 6, 2025. She was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend who brought warmth and laughter to all who knew her.

Teresa was predeceased by her mother, Marie Worden; her father, Richard Barnes; and her brother, Michael Barnes. She is survived by her husband, Jerry Williams; her children, Heather (Michael) Buonaiuto, Matthew (Jessica) Pickard, and Rachel (Christopher) Pickard; her sisters, Mary and Sue; her brothers, David, Jeff, and Arnie; her cherished grandchildren, Gretchen, Benjamin, and Oliver; as well as several nieces and nephews.

She was known for her quick wit, warm heart, and mischievous streak that earned her the affectionate title of "The Butt Pincher." If you ever found yourself within arm's reach, you knew you were fair game for one of her playful pinches-a gesture that left more laughs than protests in its wake.

Beyond her humor, Teresa had a heart of gold and hands that never stopped creating. She poured love into every stitch of the blankets, scarves, and hats she knit for family and friends. Her creations were gifts of comfort and care that will continue to be treasured.

She leaves behind a legacy of laughter, warmth, and countless memories filled with her signature humor and generosity. Though she is no longer with us, we carry her spirit in every chuckle, every shared story, and every lovingly knitted piece she left behind.

Rest easy, Mom. We'll be keeping an eye out for unexpected pinches from above.

Terri, in my faith and in my life I always have many questions. That is just who I am. You always were that one who answered those questions. Lol ridiculous or not- you took the time to either answer me or find someone who could answer me. You always made me feel welcomed! I don´t think I would be as close to God if it wasn´t for YOU. And this was simply because you were yourself. We talked recently but not enough-I didn´t tell you that I look up to you. Xoxoxo

No matter how bad I thought my day was going to be if I went in the office Terry always made it turn around. She was a breath of fresh air and a smile that just brightened the darkest day.

Aunt Terri you and I go back a long way but my fondest memories are our talks as an adult and how much you helped me to get out of my horrible marriage and how much you believed in me. I am eternally grateful to call you family and I'm beyond blessed to have had you on my side. I'm so relieved for you in knowing you're not in pain anymore. I'll grab a bag of gummies to help promote your day of life celebration. Stephanie and kids
