My cousin Theresa was a loving & caring woman, so proud of her family! I always had to read the letters she sent to Babe! I stopped in Santa Fe to see her whenever I was passing through! She will be sadly missed, but, please realize Heaven is celebrating a new angel!!!!!!!

Theresa was my fellow student, Super Friend, a super sweetheart of a woman. She got up way before dawn to bring my children to my SFCC graduation all those years ago. This afternoon I was putting on earrings she gave me and as usual often think of her. I celebrate her, the way she lived, what she accomplished and how she loved. Rosemary, Susan, Greg - my sincere regards to you. Linda (Auerbach) Ross

I remember living with Mom T while I worked in Santa Fe, what a fantastic cook and lady! I never forgot her kindness and love. She even put the famous Joseph Lonewolf on the map. Such a talented lady! God will bless her.

You know your mother is special when other people call her "Mom". It started back in High School & it kind of bothered me at first. Then I realized what a wonderful compliment it was--they loved her as much as I did! I didn't mind sharing her, she opened her heart and home to many friends.

I'm not a great one to leave photographs or to have taken photographs I prefer my mind to remember as the photographic record of someone as special as Theresa she was always so gracious to me been through the many years that I knew her she was also wonderful in her sense of humor and then her welcoming to her home... I know that Joseph lonewolf career would have been so much different without her she was the cornerstone of that business and I'm sure all are thankful for her contribution... She always welcomed me into her home she always had great stories to tell she always provided a feeling of welcome and sharing just as if she had been a part of the Pueblo community all of her life... I have only fond memories I'm such a wonderful person and she is missed but she now is in a place where once again her spirit will fly high.

Her mobile home in Santa Fe was open to everyone. There was always food in the fridge, and if one was too tired to drive home, she had guest bedrooms & a pull out sofa ready. Could always count on a huge holiday meal or an impromptu cook-out with burgers, chicken or dawgs. She taught Martha Stewart how to be a hostess! Good memories, Mom.

Your mom was a “warrior” of the best kind. She had a positive influence on everyone she met, including my youngest daughter and me. I will miss her smile and her feistiness. May the mention of her name always be blessing. Que en paz descanse.

Definitelya "Warrior Woman". She never gave up, no matter how many times life pulled the rug out from under her. No more battles to fight unless St Michael has a few dragons to get rid of! That's my Mom!

Your beautiful Mom was strong, funny, resilient, smart, a quick thinker with a wonderful, laugh & smile. She was feisty and I was so very fond of her. I met her so many years ago with my good friend Celia, and became friends with her beautiful daughter Rosemary. Rosemary took such good care of her Mom and was always there for her. Many times she would drop what she was doing, often her brilliant work as a potter and rush to her Mom's side. She was always there for her and I was honored to know her Mom and remain friends for so long. You all are in my thoughts and prayers. Sending my condolences and much love.

Judi I so appreciate the day you stayed with Mom while Greg & I checked out the Care Center in SFe. It was a difficult decision moving her there, but supportive friends like you made it a bit easier. So grateful you continued to visit her & took her books while you still lived in Santa Fe. Thanks again.

Condolences to Rosemary, Greg and Susan and Adam and family, having just learned of your loss. I knew Mrs. Lonewolf briefly but I knew she was a remarkable woman who spent time in serving others; she passed this trait to her descendants.
