Teri S. Peterson

January 1, 1958 — November 24, 2022

Teri S. Peterson


(née Foth), passed away peacefully on November 24, 2022 at the age of 64. Widow of the late Thomas Peterson. Loving mother of Adam Peterson, Mandy (Tim) Louderback, Josh Peterson, and puppy Fred Weasley. Step-mother to Jean Peterson, Susan Peterson, Sandra (Brian Fehrenbach) Peterson. Proud Gaga/Grandma of Norah, Scarlett, Nick, and Zach. Sister of Pamela (the late Mike) Jensen, and Cindy (Mark) Foth (née Walters). Teri is preceded in death by her parents Vernon and Virginia Foth (née Schier), brother Mark, and infant sister Becky.


Teri’s passion was helping others, which was reflected through much of her career. She worked several years at St. Alphonsus school and church, Mount Pleasant Medical Center, Racine Community Health Center, and Wheaton-Franciscan / Ascension.


Teri was very active in her church community, contributing in many different ways to its musical presence; hand bells, flute, organ, and choir. The church has always been a strong support network for her, but became even more so in more recent years.


Teri had the uncanny ability to find small moments of humor in any situation, and there was always laughter when she was surrounded by family and friends. She had a tremendous amount of love to give, and it was always felt by those around her. She was the definition of selfless and, even in the most trying times, always made sure others were taken care of first and foremost.


Teri's warm heart and kind soul will be dearly missed by all who knew her. We are comforted knowing she is no longer suffering and that she is reunited with her sweetie, Tom.
