It is with deep sorrow and love that we announce the passing of Theresa Stabene, a devoted mother, cherished daughter, loving sister, and loyal friend.
Theresa's heart was her greatest gift-kind, gentle, and endlessly giving. She cared deeply for others, feeling compassion for every person and every struggle, no matter how small or large. She had a way of understanding people's pain and offering comfort without judgment, always leading with empathy and love.
A talented artist and crafter, Theresa could turn the simplest things into something beautiful. Her creativity was an extension of her soul-soft, detailed, and full of meaning. From her drawings to her handmade projects, everything she created carried a piece of her warmth and imagination.
Theresa was deeply family-oriented and dreamed of building a life surrounded by love and laughter. Her greatest joy came from being a mother to her two children, Savannah Bishop and Liam Linke, who were the light of her life and the center of her world. Every moment spent with them was precious, and her love for them will live on forever in their hearts.
Theresa will be remembered as someone who made others feel loved and understood, who found beauty in small things, and who carried a heart full of hope even through life's hardest moments. Her gentle spirit, creativity, and unwavering love for her family will never be forgotten.
She leaves behind her beloved children, Savannah and Liam, her mother, Doreen Stabene, her siblings, Amanda and Joey and all those whose lives were made brighter by her presence.
Though she is gone, Theresa's love remains-woven into every memory, every kind word, and every piece of art she left behind.
"A beautiful soul is never forgotten."
