Teresa Jesus Laborin

Born in Yuma, Arizona, Teresa was a devoted mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother who dedicated her life to her family and community. She is survived by her children: Teresa Irwin (Mike Irwin), Vincent Medina (Teresa Medina), Debara Medina, Anita Medina, Viola Galbiso (Jerry Galbiso), Celeste Medina, Tiffany Medina (Bruce Weisman), and Jesus Medina (Lulu Medina). She leaves behind 19 grandchildren and 20 great-grandchildren, all of whom were deeply blessed by her love and presence.

Teresa was an avid and expert seamstress, a talent she shared generously with those around her. Her beautiful crocheted items adorned her home and became treasured gifts for loved ones. Her kindness extended into the community as she spent countless hours creating baby blankets for single mothers, which she donated throughout San Diego—a quiet but powerful act of care and compassion.

A visitation will be held on Friday, April 25, 2025, from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM at El Camino Memorial – Sorrento Valley, 5600 Carroll Canyon Rd, San Diego, CA 92121. A funeral service will follow from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM, with a graveside service from 1:30 PM to 2:00 PM at the same location.

Teresa’s warmth, creativity, and giving spirit will live on in the many lives she touched.
