(May 31, 1962 - January 24, 2020) -Teresa Wafer was born May 31st, 1962 to Patrick and Rose Wafer in Hemel Hempstead, England.As a twin, born a few minutes after her brother Richard, Teresa was the second youngest in a generation of 36 first cousins.Growing up in Watford, England, Teresa was an exceptionally gifted student and professionally trained Irish-Dancer; attending one of London’s premier dance schools.Her parents were founding members of London’s Irish Association and before immigrating to Canada in 1974 at age 11, Teresa spent many summers in Ireland with her brothers Mark, Richard, and extended family in Dublin, Longford, and Belfast.Settling in Mississauga shortly after arriving in Canada, Teresa attended Clarkson high school graduating in 1980.Upon graduation, she dove into her career at McDonald’s restaurants where she became a multi-unit director over a 19-year career before moving to the Wafer’s Tim Hortons restaurants in 1999. Teresa spent the past 20 years managing several Tim’s locations where she had an incredibly loyal team of employees she considered her friends and family, and who held her in very high regard in return. When Teresa was diagnosed with terminal cancer in August 2018 she had two goals; to attend her niece’s wedding in November 2019, and to see the United States President impeached.She achieved both goals, travelling to Ireland for the wedding in November and watching CNN every day. She would enlighten us with the latest news by texts, turning the Wafer’s into American political experts over the last few months. We’ll miss those texts. Although Teresa has been taken from us far too early at only 57, she left a mark on this world with her kindness and unselfish attitude.Doting on her two nieces, Meghan (Kevin) and Coleen (Corey), while looking out for her family she will be missed by all, her brothers Mark and Richard, sister-in-law Valarie, and life-long friend Jenn McCall.Visitation will be held at the DESTEFANO FUNERAL HOME 1289 Keith Ross Drive in Oshawa (905) 440-3595, on Sunday February 2nd from 12:30 - 2:30.

We are sad to announce that Tressa Rae Kennedy (nee Behl) has recently died. She was only 49 years old.She will be missed by many, including her parents, Ron and Josephine; her loving, handsome husband Paul and their two fantastic kids, Esther and George; her brother Chris, his two girls, Alysa and Hailey, and by her late brother Nathan who died just a few years ago. She will also be missed by numerous other family members and friends, some of whom were particularly special like Amanda Bingham and Candice Rosa. A high school tutor by trade, her absence will also be felt by all the students she has taught over the years. Oh, how she loved teaching! And oh, how she loved her students! She was lucky to be loved by so many.A resident of Uxbridge for over 20 years, she has always called this town her home. She often said that the people in this town helped to define who she really was. So many opened their arms and hearts to her and her family that she will be forever grateful.She also wished to thank everyone who helped and supported her in this stupid, but glorious life.Come and celebrate Tressa’s life. She would love it if you came with a smile on your face rather than a tear in your eye, but bearing in mind her propensity for emotions, she wants you to come, however you are. And for anyone who did not know, Tressa was suffering from ALS. She just couldn’t seem to get a handle on that damn disease. And when you see her kids, Esther and George, make sure to give them a hug, and tell them everything is going to be okay. They will need to hear and feel this. Thanks.And so she goes onwards and upwards.Funeral service will be at the Trinity United Church, 20 1ST Avenue, Uxbridge on Friday, January 24th at 1:00 p.m.
