After staying very strong and positive through her 6 month battle with cancer, Teresa passed away peacefully at 6:45, the morning of November 3, with her family by her side. It is a great loss to all of us, not to have her with us anymore.

Teresa is survived by her husband and soul mate of 17 years, Michael Freear. She is also survived by her two children Rochelle Cornet (Gary) and Tyler Christiansen and her four grandbabies Grady (11), Hayden (9), Hannah (9) and Klay (8). She also leaves behind numerous nieces, nephews, great nieces and great nephews.

Teresa was predeceased by her parents Tom and Marion Locke and her brother Robert (Bob) Locke.

Teresa was an extreme animal lover, a very caring and loving person, with an amazing sense of humor and a great laugh! She loved working at her store, Grady Clothing Company (Kamloops and online) and enjoyed meeting all of her customers!

A Memorial Service will be held for Teresa at her house in McLure, 1756 Pinegrove, on Sunday, November 18, 2012, at 1:00 p.m.

In lieu of flowers, we would ask that you support something Teresa loved, come in and support her store or send a donation to your local SPCA or rescue centre.
