A proud graduate of Littleton High School and the Englewood Beauty School, Theresa pursued a fulfilling career as a Nail Technician, where her creativity and skill brought joy to many. Her passion extended beyond her professional life; she was a nurturing soul, opening her heart and home to rescued dogs and cats, ensuring they found a forever home filled with love. Her faith was central to her life, evidenced by her active involvement with Littleton Christian then Valley View Christian Church. Theresa led Celebrate Recovery for many years and participated enthusiastically in Women's Group and Bible Study, always eager to share her unwavering love for Jesus and her dedication to bringing others to Christ.

She excelled at making Grandma's Homemade Strawberry Rhubarb Jam and always made enough to share with the people who loved it. This was a simple yet profound reminder of the joy she received by giving to others. She loved to travel, her favorite places being Grand Lake, Colorado and Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Most recently, she treasured her role as Honorary Nana to her great niece, Amira Grace, a bond that brought her immeasurable happiness and delight.
