Theresa Glass
Theresa Glass, 86, of Bad Axe, passed away on Tuesday, Aug. 11, 2020.
Theresa was born on July 28, 1934 in Minden City, daughter of the late David and Helen (Bezemek) Kolar. She married Richard Glass on Oct. 27, 1956. He preceded her in death on July 25, 1993.
She graduated from Ubly High School in 1951 as the valedictorian of her class. Theresa then went on to attend Northeastern School of Commerce in Bay City where she received her degree.
Theresa and her beloved husband, Richard, owned and operated the Glass Ben Franklin and Glass Fashions for many years. She was an active member of the Red Hat Ladies and the Huron Memorial Center Auxiliary Volunteers. Theresa and her sisters would get together and have "quilting parties" where they made many beautiful lap robes to donate to nursing homes. Among many hobbies, canning and baking were some of her favorites, and she was always willing to teach her grandkids the tricks of the trade.
Throughout the years Theresa found great joy attending her grandchildren's plays, sporting events, and band concerts. She was always happy to lend a hand and was a great person for anyone to be around. Her faith was one of the most important things to her and she was a great influence on many people.
Theresa is survived by one son, Michael (Amy) Glass of Bad Axe and one daughter Diane (Steve) Ellison of Warren; one brother, Jerome Kolar of Minden City; four sisters, Marion (Joseph) Messing of Ruth, Jane Gentner of Warren, Rose (Russell) Messing of Ruth and Betty (Donald) Schumacher of Bad Axe; four grandchildren, Kayla Ellison of Hazel Park, Michaela Glass of Elkton, Meadow Glass of Bad Axe and London Glass of Bad Axe.
She was preceded in death by her infant sister, Maria Kolar, brother-in-law Duane Gentner, and sister-in-law Lucille Kolar.
