Krejci, Theresa M. (nee Patti) Age 92
Beloved wife of the late Donald B. Krejci.
Loving mother of James (Janice) Krejci, Kim (Thomas) Oboikovitz, Donald B. Krejci II and the late Mary Krejci-Stoklosa.
Cherished grandmother of Nicole (Kyle) Dubin, Kelly Krejci, Holly (Peter) O'Malley, Rachel (Ozzy) Gamez, Natalie Krejci, Sara (Jake) Berndt and James Krejci.
Adored great-grandmother of Dominic, Aubrey, Grace, Brady, Matilda and Georgiana.
Proud daughter of the late Leo and Mamie (nee Franzone) Patti.
Dear sister of the late Lillian (late Sylvester) Calarco and Virginia (late Gerald) Bates.
Fond aunt of many nieces and nephews.
In the heart of our loud, loving, and wonderfully chaotic Italian family, food was the thread that wove us together – and at the center of it all was Theresa. She lived for her family and nothing brought her more joy than gathering us around the table where laughter was loud, hugs were tight and the sauce was always simmering. Her kitchen was our sanctuary, her recipes our heritage, and her love the secret ingredient in everything she served. We will miss her deeply, but her spirit will live on in every shared meal and every family gathering – just as she would have wanted.
