Teresa Ann De Lorenzo

While living in New Jersey she worked at Busco Brothers for over 25 years and was also a part time travel agent. For the past 17 years she was employed as an Esthetician in the spa at the JW Marriott in Marco Island.

Teresa was the epitome of life lived. She had a passion for life and made sure that she lived her life everyday to the fullest. She was an advid world traveler, who loved people, and was born to be a food blogger. She loved to talk, she would talk to anybody and everybody about anything and most likely gave you an education about something before you walked away feeling her love.

Teresa loved gourmet foods of all ethnicities. Regardless of the cuisine Teresa was able to tell you where to go to get the best of everything. She never settled for anything less than that. She never missed a Food and Wine event and all the Food Network chefs and chefs in Naples knew her by her first name. She knew every menu in every restaurant, if you ever dined with Teresa besides meeting the chef you can bet that you received the finest dishes they would put out.

Everyone that knew her would tell you that she touched their life like no other. Her inside beauty surpassed her outside beauty. She was a force of nature that lit up every room she entered. She was funny, vivacious, outgoing, kind, caring, generous, giving, loving and always the life of the party. If you met her for just only 5 minutes you knew her heart.

She is preceeded by her Mother, Esther Russo De Lorenzo, and survived by her loving father John De Lorenzo, sisters, Dee Dee, Nancy and Tina De Lorenzo along with many chosen sisters, Aunts, several loving cousins and a long list of dear friends in who's hearts she will remain in forever.
