WILKES-BARRE — Theresa "Tesi" Klepadlo, of Wilkes-Barre, passed away Friday, Aug. 9, 2024, at the home of her sister, Rita, in Hanover Township, where she resided the past two years.
Born Aug. 19, 1929, in Wilkes-Barre Township, she was the daughter of the late Anthony and Anna Pikul Gluchowski. Tesi was a 1947 graduate of Marymount High School, Wilkes-Barre.

Surviving are her sisters: Rosalie Havira, of Wilkes-Barre; Mary Wengyn, of Reading; Rita Reilly, of Hanover Township; and Catherine Ostrowski, of Hanover Township; sister-in-law, Mary Gluchowski, of Wilkes-Barre; and 17 nieces and nephews.
