I worked briefly with Teresa in Knoxville when I first started with 3M. She was so friendly and patient to teach me what she did and how it related to the tape processing. She always had a smile and always talked of her family. When it came to group events and volunteer opportunities, you knew Teresa would be involved, if not leading them. I'm so sorry to hear of her passing and offer my prayers to her family.
