She is predeceased by her sister Philomena Cantando and brother Paul Vendetti. Teresa is survived by her children and their families: Frank and Sharon Santarone of Erin with children: Mark Santarone and Noelle (Jarred) Hodack; Nicholas and Patricia Santarone of Pine City with children: Traci Santarone and Daniel (Bridgett) Santarone; Patricia and James Mark of Horseheads with sons: Shaun (Kayla) Force and Chad (Natasha) Force; seven great-grandchildren; and several nieces and nephews.

Teresa loved driving and shopping with her sister Philomena. A special thank you to Dr. James Freeman, who took care of Teresa until 2008, and to the entire staff at The Manor, especially the Skilled One staff, where she received exceptional care and formed many lasting friendships.
