Teresa “Teche” Nicolat

Jan. 25th, 1932 – Oct. 23rd, 2023

Teche Nicolat, 91, passed away unexpectedly on Monday, October 23rd, 2023, in Milwaukee, WI. She is survived by her family, Irma, Dennis, Cesar, Carla, Linda, Laura, and Ricky. Tere spent much of her time in recent years sewing, collecting coins, and doting on her Chihuahua, Newt, often lovingly referred to as “mi niño”. Daily calls with dear friends and weekly card games were a bright light in her life. She enjoyed regular trips to the casino, a rare beer with lime, and time spent tending to her plants. She loved visiting the Mitchell Park Domes, a shopping trip at the mall, and catching up on

her evening novelas.

The moment Tere stepped into adulthood, she spent her life doing what she could for her family and extended that love and compassion to the stray cats in her neighborhood. She assisted in trap-neuter-release programs and provided care for hundreds of animals throughout her lifetime. From cats, birds, and dogs, to wildlife, her kindness and helping hands knew no bounds.

Teresita was a passionate and caring woman who will live on in the hearts of all those who knew and loved her. To all those wonderful people, when you see a beautiful flower or a street cat wandering about, when you hear the rhythm of a Trío Romántico or the coo of a pigeon, when you take delight in a traditional Mexican dish or take a sip of hot tea, think of her. Think of her and she will be with you again. Forever in our hearts, memories, and lives.

Her memorial will take place at 6pm on Friday, November 10 th , at Max A. Sass & Sons, located in Greenfield, WI at 4747 S. 60th St. Doors will open at 4pm. Please bring your cherished memories to share and honor the life of Teresa Nicolat.

Please join the family at the conclusion of the service at Meyer's Restaurant & Banquet Hall, 4260 S 76th St, Greenfield, WI 53220, for food and continued celebration.
