As an enthusiastic hockey mom, she was always her boys' biggest supporter, cheering them on in all they pursued. Above all, Teresa enjoyed connecting with people. She loved being surrounded by friends and family, and was happiest in those times spent together, no matter where or when. Teresa is survived by her husband, Don; two sons: Cullen (Erin) of Leander, Texas and Clay (Gisoo) of Los Angeles, California; four grandchildren: Atleigh, Sawyer, Riley, and Elwood "Woody"; her brother: Brad (Kim) Berner of Greenville and numerous friends.
