Teresa "Terri" Tassone, 82, passed away on October 14, 2025, passed away surrounded by family. She was the beloved wife of Robert Tassone, a devoted mother, proud grandmother and great-grandmother, and a beloved sister, aunt, and friend.
Terri worked the night shift for many years as a coil winder at Lorain Products, where her dedication and strong work ethic left a lasting impression on all who knew her. In 1989, she married Robert Tassone, and together they built a life filled with love and family.
She was the proud mother of three children: Richard (Amy) Heiman, Donna (Jawad) Meier, and the late Eric Heiman. Nothing brought Terri more joy than spending time with her family, especially her cherished grandchildren: Brett (Tiffany) Meier, Stephanie (Ciprian) Alvarado, Megan (David) Hoholski, Sarah Zaka, and Joshua Heiman. Her legacy continues through her seven great-grandchildren: Isabella and Troy Meier, Ciprian and Aurelian Alvarado, Archer and Penelope Hoholski, and Nikolai Heiman.
Terri is survived by her spouse, Robert Tassone; loving siblings: Marilyn Psiakis, June (Joe) Hennes, Mary Jo Farkas, and Michael (Susan) Farkas, along with many nieces and nephews who held a special place in her heart.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Kalman and Teresa (Speckhart) Farkas, her brother Kalman Farkas, and her beloved son Eric Heiman.
Terri's memory will live on through the love she gave and the lives she touched. She will be dearly missed by all who knew her.
