In loving memory of my sister Teresa. We grew up together until we were in our late teens. She was always fun to be around and a born leader. She would come up with games to play and things to do. Never a dull moment. As she moved on in life she got married and had my niece Vanessia and nephew Anthony. They were the joy of her life and she loved spending time with them. And then she met and married Gene in her later years and they were very happy together. Teresa will be remembered for her deep love, kind heart and the beautiful bond she had with those close to her. She will be missed and remember as a fun, loving sister.

You can see the light that shined from her in all of her pictures. That light continues to shine through those she leaves behind. May the lessons, memories, stories, teachings, sayings, and love that she shared always be with us all. I only spoke to her a couple of times but I experience her through knowing and working with Vanessia.

My aunt Teresa brought so much love and light into the lives of those around her. Forever loved and deeply missed.

Nicole "Nikki" Ainsworth. My Mom always called her the "only child." We thought that was so cute and funny. She spent her entire 14 years of her life with my Mom & Gene until they died.

Teri was my beautiful sister-in-law who made my brother very happy! They were an interesting couple… He was a lifelong deep-sea diver, and she was a strong, capable, loving wife and mother.

Rest in peace. I am so grateful for the time I had getting to know you. From the very beginning, I always felt a special connection when I was around you — your warmth, thoughtfulness, and loving spirit made people smile. You had such a caring heart, especially as a devoted and loving mother, and that love shone through in everything you did.
Your kindness, your love for animals, and the joy you found in traveling and experiencing life will always be remembered. I truly believe your beautiful soul is now at peace, resting in God’s loving arms. May the Lord surround your family with comfort, strength, and peace during this difficult time. You will be deeply missed, but never forgotten.

I never met Teresa personally! I wish I did! I’m friends with her daughter Vanessia and love her dearly! One of the sweetest, kindest, most gentle souls I’ve ever met in my entire life and she always spoke highly of her mother! I know Teresa had a beautiful soul because she raised the most amazing woman! Thank you Teresa for bringing the most beautiful soul into the world and into my life. I pray I can meet you one day in Heaven and thank you in person!

I’m incredibly thankful I had the opportunity to know such a special woman. I met her when Vanessia asked if she could invite me over for Christmas so I wouldn’t be alone for the holidays, and without any hesitation she agreed. That moment spoke volumes about who she was, kind, generous, and always willing to open her heart and home to others.

Her home felt warm and cozy, a beautiful reflection of her spirit. Her love extended to every animal she cared for, from hermit crabs and guinea pigs to dogs, even the grumpy one. She loved each of them equally and with so much devotion.

I love thinking back to the simple moments, like driving home that night from the movies with her, Vanessia, and Anthony while listening to Sunglasses at Night, smiling as she wore her prescription sunglasses like she always did. Those moments capture her perfectly, funny, genuine, and unforgettable.

I’m truly grateful to have known such a remarkable woman. Her kindness left a lasting impact on my life, and she will be deeply missed and always remembered with love.
