Theresa Mae Fredianelli

Thank you to everyone who has expressed so much love and support to us at this time of great sadness and reflection. Terry is survived by her 3 children Christopher, Anthony, and Tiffany Fredianelli respectively.

Our mother was born in San Francisco, CA, in what we believe to be the greatest era of time in America, immediately following WW2. She grew up in San Diego, CA, and with her beauty and shining personality she became Miss Southern California in 1960. Extremely talented in the field of dance and acrobats, she traveled the world in her early 20's and reigned as a lead Vegas showgirl for many years, also headlining as the 1st Cleopatra at Caesar's Palace when it opened in '66. She had a successful doll making business in Las Vegas called "My Fair Lady" for many years as she became our father's greatest ally. Being someone who drew your attention and admiration, she made many friends in and out of the entertainment business. When she met our dad Ron Gaylord she found her true soulmate, and they had one of the greatest marriages that ever was, or that we've ever known. In some ways, when our father passed in 2004 after a long fight with Cancer, her heart went with him, but she still always loved making people laugh, would always give to charity, and was beyond special. To say we will miss her is a great understatement. Feel free to share thoughts and tributes to our special mom.
