She’s preceded in death by her parents, James and Dorothy Williams and sister Anita Chavez.

She was the eldest of four children born to James and Dorothy Williams on December 20,1958 in Nashville, Tennessee. After enjoying the first few years of her childhood in Tennessee the family decided to relocate and drive cross country to sunny Southern California. A few years and a couple of cities later the family settled in Redondo Beach, California. She had a wonderful family life; spending many fun-filled weekends at Camp Scheideck. Being a teenager in Redondo made it easy for her to spend her days at the beach and nights at the Pier. Teresa attended Redondo Union High school and had remained in contact with a close friend from that time in her life.

Teresa was a huge Dodgers fan. During the 80’s she enjoyed spending a day with her young children at a game. During this time she became a huge Fernando Venezuela fan. Later in life, Teresa, her husband and youngest daughter would attend many games and had fun collecting bobbleheads.

Teresa will always be remembered for her long beautiful blonde hair, keen sense of humor and the love she had for her family.
