Theresa Bunce, mother, daughter, sister and friend, passed away suddenly at the age of 50. Terri will be forever remembered by her son Colton, her parents Donald and Georgia Schladweiler, her sister Patricia (Craig) Johnson of Prescott, WI, her nieces, Rachele and Martina, and extended family and dear friends.

Terri graduated from Ellsworth Senior High School in 1986 and within that year began working for Andersen Windows, where she recently celebrated her 31st anniversary there as a Customer Service Representative. She valued her work and made lifelong friends of many of her co-workers. Terri’s life was blessed when she adopted her son Colton. Fishing, playing baseball, exploring the outdoors, and traveling to Wisconsin Dells to enjoy the waterparks became the highlights of her life. Terri enjoyed cooking, cheering for the Green Bay Packers with her friends, and traveling with family.

Terri had the ability to reach people in positive and humorous ways. Her heart of gold made it easy for her to be the kind and compassionate individual she was. She would give you the shirt off her back. Her big bear hugs and notorious nicknames for those she loved most will be cherished forever. Family, friends and others whose lives Terri touched are invited to a celebration of Terri’s life, which will be held from 1:00-4:00pm on Friday, January 12, 2018 at the O’Connell-Benedict Funeral Home, 130 N Grant St. in Ellsworth, WI, to reminisce, grieve, support each other and, of course, chat.
