Teresa Marie Caverley

Posted
Teresa Marie CaverleyTeresa Marie Caverley, age 53, of Goshen, was called to her forever heavenly home on Thursday, Aug. 5, 2021, just before 8 a.m. in her residence.

Teresa was born in Warsaw on Feb. 25, 1968, to Dale and Geraldine Caverley Hatfield. Teresa lived much of her life in the Warsaw and Goshen area.

Professionally, Teresa most recently worked in upholstery for Lippert Components, at Veada, in New Paris. She was hardworking and a dedicated employee; her colleagues and supervisors attested to this, stating that it would take two or three good workers to replace Teresa. Some may also remember Teresa from the years she supervised in housekeeping at Comfort Inn/Holiday Inn in Warsaw.

Teresa was a beautiful woman who believed in others. She embodied a strong resilience which reflects her life greatly. A genuine fan of classic country music, Teresa enjoyed her NASCAR races, as well a good western series. Teresa was a great friend to many and she loved her family dearly.

Those who survive to carry on Teresa’s memory include her son, Michael (Corrie) Islas Jr., of Nappanee;  three daughters: Celia Islas, of Goshen; Melina Islas, of Ligonier; and Diana (Elias) Higareda-Islas, of Elkhart; nine grandchildren: Sandra, Daniel, Dallas, Samuel, Aaliah, Santiago, Aquiles, Salmos and Quetzaly; three sisters: Deneen Caverley, Brenda Rash and Dorothy (Crescencio) Cleto; and two brothers: Harold (Angie) Hatfield and Michael. Sixteen nieces and nephews, a large extended family and many friends also survive.

Teresa was preceded in passing by her parents, grandparents, three cousins and a nephew.

A Life Celebration® is planned with Titus Funeral Home and Cremation Services, 2000 E. Sheridan St., Warsaw. Two visitations are planned: Wednesday, Aug. 11 from 2 to 4 and 6 to 8 p.m. and Thursday, Aug. 12 from 10 to 1 and 3 to 5 p.m. Teresa’s funeral service will take place at 5 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 12 in the funeral home.
