Theresa Pauline Padilla

On November 2nd, our beloved Theresa Pauline Padilla went to be with the Lord after a brave struggle with illness. Theresa was a most beloved aunt, great-aunt and godmother (Nina) to many. She was a brilliant, sweet, generous woman. She enjoyed her role as a mentor. Theresa obtained her Master's Degree in special education.

She is survived by her mother Grace, sisters Bridget (Dan) Burns, Laura (Mike) Cromer, Karen (Bill) Widrick, Camille (Todd) Halliwill and brothers Russell Jr. (Geri) and Dominic. Special heartfelt love and thanks to her godchildren Gracie and Savannah Medina who were her help and strength during this most difficult time. Special thanks to Dr. Ali and the great team at City of Hope. Donations to CofH in Theresa's name are appreciated.
