Theresa (Terri) St. Sauver Obituary

Passed away peacefully with her brothers by her side on April 4, 2022. She was preceded in death by her parents Larry and Sue, sister Phyllis (Ricci), sister Carolyn (Garcia), and sister-in-law Maggie. She is survived by brothers Larry (Deb), Doug, and Steve, and 13 nieces and nephews. Terri was a proud graduate of the University of Minnesota. She spent 30+ years working for the Minneapolis Park Board, for which she received many awards. She felt that her best work was done at Logan Park. She was a lover of cats and volunteered countless hours rescuing and caring for them. Terri enjoyed the time with "her people" at Nokomis Square over the last 10 years. Family meant so much to her. She thought of her nieces and nephews as her own kids. They have many fond memories with her, especially ValleyFair! In lieu of flowers memorials preferred.

I let Terri through Feline Rescue and became friends. She was funny, pragmatic and practical. Her huge heart was evident in everything she did. Sending deepest condolences to her family and friends.

I am deeply saddened by the news of Terri´s passing. Terri was such a kind and caring lady and she dedicated her life to helping and caring for others, cats and humans alike. She was a great mentor to me when I first began rescuing cats, and she became a treasured friend for many years. My sincere condolences to her family of whom she spoke frequently with loving affection. Rest In Peace, dear Friend. I will miss you.

I am part of a organization called Woman in Leisure Services. Terri was very active for many years in the group on the state level and National level. Many of us remember Terri and we are very sad to hear about her passing and we want to send our love to you and your family .

My sympathy to Terri's family. I met Terri when we worked together at Wilder Rec Center in St. Paul. Even though Terri ended up working for the Minneapolis Park Board, she was beloved by many of us in Saint Paul Parks & Receation. We'd see each other at events the 2 agencies did together, MRPA, and other events. Terri was always fun. You always laughed with Terri. Such a great person - she touched so many lives for the better. Loved her!

Terri did a lot of fundraising for Feline Rescue in its beginning. I will never forget the annual fundraiser spaghetti dinners she was in charge of. Always a highlight of the year and a chance for volunteers to all work together to make this successful and have a lot of fun. She took her volunteer work very seriously as well as any job she did. And her taking in diabetic cats to give them a good quality life, not many could do that. She had a very high energy level when it came to helping the cats.

I knew Terri from Feline Rescue. She was so dedicated to the animals and worked many hours to rescue the cats and bring them back to good health. Rest In Peace, Terri.

Dear Family of Terri,
I was so very saddened to see of Terri's death. She was one of the dearest, most tender hearted persons I knew. We went to Archbishop Memorial High School together and most recently we were card playing 'buddies'.

Please know that she and the family she leaves behind will be in my thoughts and prayers.

I am glad to have known Terri and to have worked with her in the early days of Feline Rescue.org She had a real passion for the cats and the rescue mission. She will be missed.
