Publish in a newspaper

It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of Theresa Pfefferkorn. A loving wife, mother, grandma, daughter, sister, niece, and friend. Theresa passed away Sunday, September 14, 2025, due to her courageous battle with kidney disease, at the age of 62.

Beloved wife of 16 years of Peter Pfefferkorn. Loving mother of Amanda (Brent) Gerrety and Lauren (Kraig) Rieman. Devoted grandma of Owen, Ryleigh, Kinsley, Natalie, Paislee, and Kolby. Dear daughter of Joyce Gelhausen. Cherished niece of Jackie Weil, Gary Weil, and Mike (Sharon) Weil. Theresa was preceded in death by her father, Jerry Gelhausen; grandma Gelhausen; and grandma, Alice Weil.

Theresa loved being outside, whether she was enjoying the sunshine or the waves on the beach. She had a heart for animals, especially dogs. But above all else, she loved her grandbabies, and spending time with them.

Family and friends are welcomed on Saturday, October 25, 2025 from 10 AM until time of memorial service at 11 AM at the Neidhard-Minges Funeral Home, 10385 New Haven Road, Harrison, OH 45030.
