Msgt (Ret) Theresa Irene Siluano passed away on May 27, 2024, in Oregon, leaving behind a legacy of love and compassion that will forever be cherished by all who were fortunate enough to have known her.
Theresa was born on July 30, 1966, in the picturesque town of Los Gatos, Santa Clara, California, to her loving parents, Judith Pedder and Cosmo Maggiore. She was also blessed to have Sandy Maggiore as her step-mother. Throughout her life, Theresa exemplified the values instilled in her by her parents and carried them with grace and dignity.
Theresa was preceded in death by her beloved daughter, Kenedi Siluano, as well as her cherished pets, Zeus and Razor. Although their physical presence is no longer with us, their spirits live on in the hearts of those who loved them dearly.
She is survived by her loyal yellow Labrador, Kona, who was not just a pet but a faithful companion. Theresa's family best friend, Eddie Siluano, stood by her side through thick and thin, embodying the true essence of friendship. She is also survived by her daughter, Danee Siluano, her son, Jacob Siluano, her precious granddaughter, Cecilia Fernandez-Siluano, her sister, Donna Maggiore, her step-brother, Michael Harrison, her aunts, Shari Pitt and Jackie Carley, and a host of other relatives and friends who will miss her dearly.
In her professional life, Theresa excelled in her career, starting with the U.S.M.C. Judge Advocate before continuing her expertise in civilian law firms and other positions. She later decided to enlist in the United States Air Force National Guard, where she served with honor and dedication until her retirement in September 2014.
Outside of work, Theresa found joy in pursuing her hobbies and interests, which included a passion for all sports and an unwavering devotion to the San Francisco 49ers. She also found solace in reading, writing, and tending to her garden, finding peace and fulfillment in these simple yet profound activities.
Those who knew Theresa can attest to her remarkable characteristics – she always gave glory to the Lord, wore her heart on her sleeve, and never met a stranger. She poured 200% of her heart and dedication into everything she did, whether it was her work, her relationships, or her passions. Theresa would have laid her life down for her children without hesitation, and she continuously imparted invaluable lessons on navigating life and seeing situations from different perspectives.
A funeral service to honor and remember Theresa's life will be held at Westminster Memorial Park and Mortuary on Beach Boulevard in Westminster, CA, on June 7, 2024, at 10:00 AM. In lieu of flowers, the family has requested that donations be made through Venmo to @daneesiluano.
Theresa Irene Siluano touched the lives of all who had the privilege of knowing her, and her memory will forever remain a beacon of light and love in the hearts of those she leaves behind. May she rest in peace, knowing that her legacy of kindness and compassion will endure for generations to come.
