Teresa Renee Gill

She was born on December 25, 1968, in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota, to Arnie and Kay Moen.

Teresa grew up in Rothsay, Minnesota, where she made cherished memories with family and friends. She graduated from Rothsay High School in 1987 and went on to earn her bachelor’s degree from North Dakota State University in 1992.

She was baptized, confirmed, and married at Hamar Lutheran Church in Rothsay, Minnesota.

In 2000, Teresa moved to Texas for a change of pace and new opportunities. Two years later, in 2002, she married Henry (Ricky) Gill. To this union, her greatest pride and joy, their son, Tristan Dylan, was born. Teresa’s love and devotion to her family were the center of her life.

Over the years, Teresa held a variety of jobs that showcased her dedication, adaptability, and strong work ethic. She eventually found her calling as a paralegal in downtown Austin, where she thrived until health challenges in 2018 required her to step away from the career she loved.

Outside of work, Teresa had many hobbies that brought her joy. She enjoyed fishing, playing cards, cross stitching, and took great pride in keeping an impeccably clean and welcoming home. She deeply valued her circle of close friends and the laughter-filled nights they shared playing Bunco. Teresa also participated in her church’s volleyball league.

Teresa will be remembered for her intelligence, resilience, kindness, and sense of humor. She touched many lives with her warmth and her ability to connect deeply with others.
