A loving mother, grandmother, aunt, and sister, Theresa’s greatest joy came from her family. She cherished every moment spent with her boys and grandson, and they were the center of her world. She was always excited for holiday gatherings, where she found pure happiness basking in the glow of her loved ones.

Theresa’s heart was as vast as her sense of humor, and she had a sharp wit that could brighten any room. Whether enjoying a picnic in the park, taking in the beautiful lights at Lights Under Louisville, or simply relaxing on the swing with her father, Theresa valued the time spent with family above all else. Her warm embrace, caring words, and unending support made her an irreplaceable confidant to all who knew her.
