Theresa was a natural leader, Christian, and a believer in the good in everyone. She found incredible joy in life, especially the accomplishments of her children and grandchildren. She loved watching her family grow both in numbers, spiritually, and educationally. Her smile and warm welcome made even the hardest person soft. She was an amazing chef and often shocked people with her creativity and flavorful goodies. She and granddaughter Amanda actually had their own cottage business in Quirky Cakes . A business some folks still talk about today locally and as far away as Georgia. Theresa’s love for her family was indescribable…and it is felt even now that she has left our side to go to heaven. She is always with us and we will always love her. Memorial contributions may be sent to charity of donor’s choice.
