Theresa Marie Gergen, 62, of Racine, Wisconsin, passed away unexpectedly, but peacefully, on February 27, 2023. Born on September 29, 1960, she was the last born, only daughter of Audrey and Charles T. May. Growing up in a ranch home, Theresa was Charles’s “girl”, and she spent a lot of time with him in the “Doghouse”, Charles’s woodworking shop. She was the youngest of five children (Richard, Chuck, John, and Tom May).
Theresa had the purest heart of gold, always putting others before herself. After attending Sunday Mass every week at St. Lucy’s, she was off to her favorite restaurant, Old Country Buffet.
In high school, Theresa loved choir and biology class. She enjoyed going to the beach and sitting on the rocks, staring out at the water watching sunrises and sunsets. Her true passion was cosmetology so she followed her dreams as she attended Gateway Technical College.
In the year 1990, at the age of 30, Theresa was blessed with a baby girl, naming her Kassandra Marie. Kassandra was forever more her precious gem. It was all thanks to Richard Peterson, her late husband, at the time. Theresa also gained two amazing stepchildren, Megan and Justin.
Theresa’s family and friends will miss her dearly and know that life won’t ever be the same without her; they were honestly blessed to have had so many years with her.
Theresa Marie Gergen is survived by her daughter, Kassandra; her stepchildren, Megan and Justin; her son-in-law, Kyle; her grandchildren, Trinity, Noah, and Kyleigh; and her greatgrandchild, Hudson.
Theresa will be sincerely missed by family, friends, and all who knew her.
Private services will be held for immediate family and close friends. Memorials are suggested to St. Lucy’s Church as they are providing our family and many others with a beautiful, blessed service and happiness.

My family and I would like to thank you and your staff for all the kindness and sincere expressions of sympathy that you extended to us during the loss of my son, Todd Swanson. We appreciate all the extra special things you did to help us through this very difficult time. We didn’t have to think ahead, we just had to be there while every little detail was taken care of by you and your staff. This made an impression on everyone that came, and I will never forget it. Thank you from all of us.
