After a lengthy illness Teresa Louise Derosier, age 72 of Bothell, Washington, passed
away peacefully on October 19, 2026, surrounded by her loving family; twin brother,
Larry and her grandchildren. Teresa, who went by Terri, was born to William and
Della Waldon in San Francisco, California on September 10, 1954. Terri graduated from
Oceana High School in Pacifica, California in February 1972. Following high school
she moved with the family to Van Zandt County, Texas. In 1973 she married Norman
Derosier and in 1975 her daughter Kimberly was born. Following a divorce in 1976 she
never remarried. Terri worked for various grocery stores over the next 28 years. In 1986
Terri relocated to Bothell, Washington with her family. She became a member of
Canyon Hills Community Church and loved her time spent with her mother, Della, at the
Seniors group and the monthly birthday club. Throughout her life Terri enjoyed camping
with her family, swimming, music of the 50’s and 60’s, and was a huge fan of Elvis Presley and George Strait. She loved animals and always had pets ranging from dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, tropical fish, and back yard rabbits. Her most precious gift was her laughter and joy that filled the room. Terri was preceded in death by her daughter, Kimberly, her father, William, and her sister Linda. She is survived by her twin brother, Larry Waldon, and her mother, Della Waldon, along with four grandchildren, four great grandchildren, and several nieces and nephews. She will be forever in our hearts and missed very much.
