Teresa Janine Padilla

Teresa Janine Padilla born in Carmichael, California on January 6, 1970; she went to be with the Lord on June 3, 2017, to join her angel baby Anna Leigh. She is survived by her children Susanna, Natalie, Daisy, Waldo and Tony Graciano; her parents Greg & Glynna Padilla, sister LeAnna Oleson (Todd), brother Topo Padilla (Tina), nieces Cortney & Chesney Oleson, Morgan Padilla and nephew Brandon Padilla. She will be dearly missed by all but especially her cousin Kellie Weatherby. Teresa had a few heroes in this world that she would listen to, and one of those heroes she joins in heaven and that is Fr. Bill. Teresa had a kind and giving heart and did so much to help all of those around her. All of those that were ever around her especially at work gave her the name of “Mother Teresa” “ALWAYS doing for others.” Her giving didn’t stop with people, every time you turned around she was saving cats, dogs, birds and even a churky (chicken & turkey) that was brought into the house by a cat she had saved.

Teresa was the type of friend that no matter how much time passed between visits, she would pick right up where you left off. As it was said by many of her friends, there are people that will come into your life and you feel like they never left your side, Teresa was that person. She was a dedicated daughter, sister and friend………….

Listening to Teresa’s schedule could and might drive a person crazy, but she would do whatever was needed to make sure her children did all their soccer, volleyball, basketball, flag football games, piano and Fliptastics; not to mention all the numerous arts & crafts and even science projects. Goodness only knows what is lurking somewhere in her house.

The moral of Teresa’s story was: She was there for all.
