Teresa's job and hobby were one in the same, she owned Alterations Unlimited and Accent Draperies and More, and so enjoyed sewing and creating. Teresa was a true artist and her creations will live on for years to come in so many places in Monroe and the surrounding areas. Her other hobbies and passions included: cooking, baking, painting, doll making, and gardening. Most of all Teresa loved time spent with her husband, children, and grandbabies, whom lovingly called her Mum.
