Theresa Marie Bosio, lovingly known as Teri, passed away on August 19, 2024, in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee.
Teri was born on August 27, 1951, in Burlington, Vermont, to a proud Air Force family.
Teri can be described in four words faith, family, friends, and fudge
Teri’s Catholic faith has always been very important to her. At the age of 18, she started volunteering as a catechist at Church of the Holy Cross in Overland Park, KS. Teri served St. Stephen Catholic Community in Old Hickory, TN on the parish staff first as the Director of RCIA and then later as the Director of Religious Education.
Teri met her husband of 51 years while serving at Church of the Holy Cross. Together they have two daughters, one son-in-law, and one grandson. Teri also has a large extended family with 5 siblings and several nieces and nephews. Teri’s love for her family was immense, and she always found joy in their gatherings, especially when fudge was on the table.
Teri was cherished for her warm artistic spirit. In her youth Teri was a gifted professional calligrapher. She continued her passion for art through her favorite pastime, painting rocks, which she often enjoyed in the company of family and friends. In recent years Teri and her husband authored several books on the family and were featured speakers on this topic for conferences and retreats.
Teri’s legacy will be remembered through the beautiful art she created and in the memories of all whom she loved. Teri’s presence will be deeply missed. Her spirit will continue to inspire those who were fortunate to know her.
Teri was preceded in death by her parents, Samuel Philip “Pete” Braud and Opal Germaine “Jerry” Braud.
