On April 5, 2021, Teresa Jean Mervenne ran into the arms of her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Victory is hers as she dances with her Father God in fields of grace. She was preceded in death by her parents Barb and Don Raaymakers, and Paul Patin; and fathers-in-law Fredrick Ressell and David Mervenne Sr. She is survived by her husband of 30 years, David Mervenne; siblings Sherry (Tom) Plaggemars, Mark (Donna) Raaymakers, Bob (Jamie) Raaymakers, Mike Raaymakers, Paula Pierce, and Don (Conny) Raaymakers; mother-in-law, Sandra Mervenne (Ressell); honorary parents Nick and Florence Tartaglione; sister-in-law, Dawn (Dave) Murphy; brother-in-law, Mike (Char) Mervenne; and cherished nieces and nephews.
Teresa spent many years as a nanny where she loved and cared for so many children. She then pursued a career as a dental assistant. She loved to fellowship and serve at Resurrection Life Church in so many ways including ushering, food pantry, deacon, welcome center, Christmas program decorations, and so much more. Teresa loved Jesus and expressed it daily to anyone and everyone with her "God-shined" personality and smile.
