Teresa was a loving mom to Kurt (Mukda), Karen (Steve) Bauer, Keith, and Jean (Jim) Helman. She was a proud grandmother to Ashley (Tony) Russo, Kelly, Jessica, Michael, and Clark Samuels; step-grandmother to Michael Bauer and Morgan Helman; and great-grandmother to Dominic Russo.

Teresa loved animals and was a faithful member of Assumption Parish. Prior to getting married, Teresa was a former employee of Ralston Purina. In her earlier years, she enjoyed playing cards with her girlfriends in their Canasta Club, and was also a member of a bowling team. The family would like to thank all of the girls at Mercy In-Home Hospice who assisted us. A special thank you to Angela at Senior Helpers and a Big Heart Felt thank you to Fatima at Senior Helpers!
