Theresa Cristelli Obituary
She was a longtime resident of Colorado Springs and graduated from Wasson High School and Pikes Peak Community College. She also attended Fort Lewis College where she received a BS Degree in Biology. There she met her husband, Jim Cristelli. They moved to Colorado Springs and married in 1988. Terri worked as an Orthodontic Assistant and Office Manager for many years.
Terri enjoyed gardening, crocheting, and home remodeling projects with Jim. She also loved Friday nights at The Grace Center with "her boys" where she led the best chain crew in the city. She loved Pirate Football. Her best times were spent with her many nieces and nephews at the zoo, the park, or at her home watching Disney movies or just playing. Those were times of great joy and laughter. She was loved by many and will be missed.
She is survived by her husband of 27 years, Jim; her parents, Bob and Sally Gorczyca; her brother, David (Zandra); and several loved nieces and nephews.
Visitation will be Friday, July 1, 2016 6:00-8:00 pm at Cappadona Funeral Home. Rosary followed by a Funeral Mass Saturday, July 2, 2016 9:30 am are at Corpus Christi Catholic Church.
