Teresa A Markowski, of New Fairfield, CT, beloved wife of Anthony F. Markowski, passed unexpectedly on May 20, 2023, after a brief illness at Danbury Hospital. She was born at home in The Bronx, NY on July 28, 1930, one of seven siblings to the late Angelina (Forese) and Michael Mele descendants of Bari, Italy. She spent much of her life working and shopping but most importantly, raising a beautiful family.
Teresa thoroughly enjoyed fashion her whole life and at the height of her youth, she can be considered a fashion icon. Though Teresa worked many different jobs from the age of 20, her most beloved working days were those spent at Macy’s in The Bronx.
Teresa is survived by her husband, Anthony of 65 years, her two daughters, Teresa and Anthony Petraia, Donna and Will Freeborn, and her granddaughter Victoria Freeborn, as well as many cherished relatives. Her family will miss her loving heart, generosity, silliness, and contagious laughter.
All who find that Teresa has a special place in their heart are welcome to attend the funeral Mass at St. Peter’s Catholic Church, 104 Main St., Danbury, on May 25, 2023, at 10AM followed by a burial service at Mountain View Cemetery, Route 37, New Fairfield.
