Theresa (Borowski) Hurley, 79, of Blue Springs, Mo., passed away peacefully at home on April 19, 2025.

Born on October 12, 1945, in Fulda, Germany, Theresa was the daughter of Walter and Hattie Borowski. Her early life was shaped by her family's survival of World War II and their immigration to the U.S. in 1949, settling in St. Joseph, Mo.

She married John K. Hurley, on July 28, 1962. Together they raised four children and built a life in Blue Springs.

Theresa began her real estate career in 1979 and became a well-respected Realtor in Jackson County, working with JC Nichols, later Reece & Nichols.

Proud of her Polish heritage, Theresa was known for her hospitality, her delicious cooking and her beautifully kept home. She and John shared a love for travel, with favorite trips including Rome, Maui, Dublin, and a meaningful Baltic Sea cruise to Estonia.

Affectionately known as "Mimi," Theresa adored her seven grandchildren and remained actively involved in their lives.

She is preceded in death by her parents; her brothers Richard, Joseph and Eugene; and her daughter Darcy. She is survived by her husband of 62 years, John; children Estelle (Pat), Tess (Bo), and John (Amy); and grandchildren Walter, Jeremy, Ava, John Stanley, Nicole, Addison and Kayla.
