Theresa Gass, 75

Theresa Louise Gass, a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, passed away peacefully in her sleep March 9, 2024. Born on May 7, 1948, in Nampa, Idaho, Theresa led a life dedicated to faith, family, and service.

On Oct. 15, 1966, Theresa married the love of her life, Michael Gass, in Sandpoint, Idaho. Together, they raised four sons: John, David, Robert, and Tom. Theresa cherished her role as a mother, instilling in her children the values of love, kindness, and faith.

Theresa was a devoted Christian who exemplified her faith through her actions. She served as a Sunday school teacher, sharing her love for Jesus Christ with others. She also led Bible studies and volunteered at several charities, always seeking to help those in need.

Theresa's home was a place of warmth and acceptance, where everyone was welcomed with open arms. Her love knew no bounds, and her impact on those around her will never be forgotten.

Theresa served as an accountant for the city of Bellevue and Sound Transit Authority, dedicating 34 years of her accounting skills, where she formed lifetime friendships.

Theresa is survived by her loving husband, Michael; sons John, David, Robert, and Tom; daughters-in-law Anna and Melinda; sisters, Jo, Elaine, and Patty; brothers Steve and Jim; five granddaughters Alexandra, Mackenzie, Grace, Skylar, and Victoria; and a host of other family members and friends who will miss her dearly. She was preceded in death by her brother, David.

A celebration of Theresa's life will be held at Turning Point Church, 11911 N. Division St., Spokane, Wash., on March 16, 2024, at 11 a.m. and a gathering directly after the service at Theresa and Mike’s home to share food and memories. Directions will be provided at the service.
