Also survived by her 11 precious great grandchildren which made her final years so much more enjoyable. Her godchildren Kathleen Hansen, Michael Hansen and Gloria Geniesse. Along with so many nieces, nephews and other relatives and friends.

Preceded in death by her sons Steven and Dennis.

Theresa enjoyed spending time with all of her family, watching the birds or a Brewer game on TV, playing scrabble and card games or puzzles with her great grandchildren. Most of all she was so proud to make her famous German Potato Salad for special events or even Zuchinni bread to bring a smile, hug and kiss from her grandchildren.

The family would like to extend special thanks to all of her doctors over the years including Dr. Elizabeth Davies and Horizon Hospice. But especially doctors Kia Saeian and Kristin Granlund at Froedtert for their efforts which made it possible for us to have so many extra years with her so she was able to enjoy her great grandchildren. Also, thank you to Rev. Canon Jayr of St. Stanislaus Church for his prayer and blessings in our time of need and Fr. Tony Zimmer of St. Anthony on the Lake where she was a parishioner for 56 years.
