Teresa took great pride in her calling as a mother.  She deeply cherished spending time with her family, particularly with her precious grandchildren.  Cooking Sunday dinners for them and anyone else that stopped by was her passion.

Teresa also took great pride in her work.  She held various roles at CCG in West Caldwell for over 35 years, most recently as an Account Coordinator.  Teresa also spent 20 years as a hostess at Godfather in East Hanover.  She loved both of her jobs and cultivated life-long friendships at each.

In addition to cooking and baking for her family and friends, Teresa enjoyed spending her summers down at the Jersey Shore.  She had a deep devotion to her Catholic faith and attended Sunday mass religiously.
