Teresa Ann Hall, affectionately known as "T," passed away on May 20, 2025, in her hometown of Columbus, Ohio. Born on August 13, 1958, Teresa led a life defined by her good nature and loving spirit. She spent a substantial part of her career at Chemical Abstracts Services, dedicating her time and talents to the organization from 1985 until her retirement in 2020.
Teresa was known for her ability to laugh at herself and her heartfelt connections to those around her. She enjoyed spending quality time on her back deck with family and friends and found joy in bird watching in her backyard. Additionally, she relished the occasional trip to the casino. Her warm personality made her a treasured friend to many and a loving best friend to her daughter.
Teresa is survived by her daughter, Sarah (Andy) Rowland, who holds a special place in her heart, as well as her grandchildren, Chloe, Jared, and Aubrey Rowland. She is also remembered by her sister, Brenda Elias, her brother-in-law, Jeffrey Demko, and many nieces and nephews, friends, and extended family.
In her passing, Teresa joins her father, James Elias; her mother, Betty E. Elias; and her sister, Rebecca Sue Demko, who will welcome her with open arms.
A memorial gathering will be held on June 12, 2025, from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM, followed by a memorial service from 6:00 PM, both taking place at Newcomer Funeral Home, Northeast, located at 3047 E Dublin Granville Rd, Columbus, OH, 43231.
Teresa's legacy will continue through her family and the many lives she touched during her time with us. She was immensely proud of the family she raised, and her memory will be cherished by all who knew her.
