Theresa Ann Herlitz
Born in Rockford, IL on July 24, 1958. Theresa was a devoted mother, grandmother, and friend whose greatest joy in life was her family. She is survived by her children Wayne (Shanda) Hardy, Chris (Amanda) Herlitz, Andrew Herlitz (Gabi) Angela Herlitz (Micah) and her stepson Scott (April) Herlitz, along with her cherished grandchildren, who brought light and laughter to her days.
Theresa had a warm heart, a generous spirit, and a deep love for her dogs, who were always by her side. She found true happiness in family traditions, especially during the holidays, when she could gather everyone close and create memories filled with laughter, love, and good food. Her home was always open, and her love was always present.
She will be remembered for her kindness, strength, and unwavering love for those around her.
A celebration of Theresa’s life will be held at a Hillsboro Community Center on July 25th 2025 from 2:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m., where friends and family will come together to share stories and honor her memory.
To Terris family, I was so sorry to her of her passing. We would talk once in a while on the internet. We had talked about our family . She sent me a list of her children & grandkids names . She had been to a family gathering and ran into my Brother Bobby and realized they where cousins. So I have tried to right him some names down in case Im not around to try to explain who is who. I don’t know if you need to know but Her Dads name was Lloyd R Kirkpatrick and Moms was Cynthia Ann (Smith)Maiden, Kirkpatrick, Jacobs. She had her 4 Sisters Vicky Lee Kirkpatrick was her only full sibling (Deceased), Mary Ann Jacobs half sister (Deceased), Kathryn Mary half sister, Stephanie Ann Jacobs half sister. She has 3 brothers all half brothers Gary Louies Jacobs , Thomas Wayne Jacobs ( Deceased) Christoper James Jacobs . Again so Sorry to hear about her passing. Prayers for the family
