Teresia Marie Coleman Repass of Ceres, VA passed away Sunday, June 26, 2022. She was born September 25, 1961 in Salinas, CA. She cherished family, making dried flower arrangements and flower gardening. Bingo, puzzles and family card games were a few more highly preferred loves. You're a very lucky person indeed if you were a recipient of her famous Christmas cookie gift packages!

Teresia met the love of her life, Ed Repass, while working in the food service industry at the Embassy Suites, South Center, WA. They married June 10, 2000. The talented culinary couple enjoyed catering as a business and serving fantastic meals to guests in their home. Teresia and Ed treasured their time together following all things NASCAR. They resided in Milton, WA until August of 2017 at which time they moved to Ed's beloved 75 acre farm, Atwell Family Farm, which has been in Ed's family since 1900. They absolutely adored living there in what feels like a museum with an abundance of original historical items and where "time seems to stand still."

Teresia was preceded in death by her father, Patrick H. Coleman III. Survivors include her husband, Raymond "Ed" Repass; her mother, Flora B. Hallbach; her daughter Sara and Kirk Wicks of Bend, OR; her sons, Steven Coleman of Bland, VA, Sean Coleman of Tacoma, WA and stepson, Timothy and Kassie Repass of Milton, WA; sisters, Patricia and Bud Todd of Reedsport, OR, Maria Coleman of Coquille, OR and Korenia and Shane Gertsch of Emmett, ID; a brother, Patrick H. IV and Brenda Coleman of Coos Bay, OR; and grandchildren, nieces, nephews and a host of extended family and friends.

October 2021 Teresia was diagnosed with aggressive onset of Alzheimers. Although she has left a void, her loved ones are very happy she is at peace now.

Celebration of life will be announced later. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Teresia's name to Bowers Hospice House of Beckley, WV, 304-250-6040. We are greatly appreciative of their professional and compassionate care, very comfortable home-like settings and beautiful grounds. Highland Bland Funeral Chapel is serving the Repass family.
