Teresa was born to James and Teresa Ann Leuck (both from Creston, Iowa) on January 27, 1961 in Moline, Illinois. She attended Sacred Heart School and Moline High School, graduating in 1979.

On February 3, 1979 Teresa married Douglas Krouth. The couple brought two sons into this world. On April 7, 2021 Teresa married Thomas Lopez and lovingly gained another son and daughter into her family.

Teresa enjoyed playing volleyball and softball, even winning a state title in softball. She enjoyed music and was an avid fan of the Hawkeyes, Bears, and Cubs. Even in difficult and trying times Teresa always remained humble and was always reaching out to help the next one in line. Teresa had a resonating personality that could light up any room and a laugh that was infectious. Although she succumbed to the battle, her death is not defeat.

Teresa is survived by her husband Thomas Lopez; her three sons Ryan (Jayme) Krouth, Jakob (Tiffany) Krouth, Patrick (Kaitlyn) Lopez; her daughter Erika (Aaron) MacDonald; her three siblings Mary Ann (Danny) Gillespie, Michael Leuck, and Patrick (Diane) Leuck; her grandchildren Adrienne, Mallory, Alaina, Isaiah, Jordan, Jacob, Brody, Rhett; and her beloved dog Cooper.

She was preceded in death by her sister Margaret, her parents, Ann and James, and beloved brother Johnny.

Teresa's heart was big enough for everyone she ever met, she treasured and embraced her past and present extended family and friends with unwavering and unconditional love.
