Theresa "Terri" Sanfilippo

Terri Sanfilippo, 65, daughter of the late William and Grace Budrow of Gloucester, passed peacefully at home with her husband and children by her side.
She faced Alzheimer's with strength and resilience for several years, and when cancer became her next challenge, she met it with the same courage that defined her spirit. For the past two years, she was well taken care of by the excellent staff at Day-by-Day daycare center and her husband and dedicated caretakers at home.
A selfless mother, daughter, daughter-in-law, and wife, she was a hardworking and talented woman who spent 30 years working nights at Varian, always balancing her career with her deep commitment to family, friends, and church.
She leaves behind her devoted husband, Domenic; her daughters, Julia and Kristen; her son and daughter-in-law, Daniel and Alyssa; her grandchildren, Sophie and Jonah; her brother, George; sister, Jane; brothers- and sisters-in-law; mother-in-law, Giuseppa; many beloved nieces, nephews, and cousins; and her dog, Linda.
She will be remembered always for the quiet but powerful impact she had on those around her – with kindness that spoke volumes, endless generosity, and unwavering humility.
Terri's funeral Mass will be celebrated at St. Ann's Church on Wednesday, March 12, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. Friends and relatives are cordially invited to attend.
