It is with deep sadness and broken hearts that we must announce the passing of our beautiful, sweet, wonderful mother Teresa Ramponi. Teresa was born in Texas on October 16, 1926 but lived most of her life in California. She loved life and living it. She loved to travel and see new sights. She had many occupations but her true love was gardening. Teresa passed on her love and knowledge of gardening to family, friends and neighbors. She loved to cook and was so good at it... Our mother was a pillar of strength and she had an unending kind and generous heart. She loved helping people and no one left her home hungry. She was fun and funny until the very end of her life. Family was always important to our mom, she surrounded us with unconditional love. She was a mother and a friend to many of our childhood friends. She had a beautiful smile and brought laughter and joy to our lives. She was our deepest love... Life will never be the same and we will miss her forever.

Teresa passed away September 28 with her children surrounding her with love. She is preceded in death by her husband Frank of 63 years, her son Bob and her parents Maria Najera and Lucino Caldera. She leaves behind many whom she adored and loved deeply. Her only sister Mary and her husband Victor. Her children Frank, Patsy, Kitty, Danny, Ross, and Mary Ann. Her grandchildren Jason, Andrea & husband Mark, Ryan & wife Belinda, Karly & husband John. Her cherished great grand children Rylie, Alexis, Kylie, Ryan, Keira, Brianna, and Brandon. Her brothers and sisters in law Emilio, Rico, Art, George, Conrad, Leo, Hope, Josie, Mary, and Linda. And many cousins, friends and neighbors. Our mother was deeply loved and we thank you for bringing her joy, happiness and love. The family thanks Angel?s Hospice for their wonderful kindness and understanding.
