Therese was the beloved daughter of Christopher Friedrich Behrens and Helene Lenchen Wustefeld Behrens. She earned her high school GED and built a life defined by kindness, devotion, and resilience.

She is survived by her son Jeff and his wife Jenni, along with her grandchildren Amy, Sarah, Katie, Kristin, Pam, and Anna.
