Teresa Ann Hendrikson March 23, 1957 – May 25, 2025

Teresa Ann Hendrikson, devoted wife, cherished mother, beloved grandmother, sister, and friend, passed away peacefully on Sunday, May 25, 2025, at the age of 68, after a courageous battle with cancer.

Born in Grass Valley, California, on March 23, 1957, Terry, as she was known to family and friends, was the eldest of five children born to their loving parents Solon and Christine Croteau. She was raised in a loving home and carried that same love and warmth throughout her life. She graduated from Greeley Central High School in 1975.

Terry’s early adult years took her on adventures far from home, including time spent living in Okinawa, Japan, Honolulu, Hawaii, and San Bernardino, California, while her first husband served in the U.S. Air Force. Despite her travels, Greeley always remained her true home, and she spent the majority of her life there surrounded by family and close friends.

A talented cook and a caring soul, Terry’s home was often filled with delicious meals and heartfelt laughter. She found joy in traveling to Nebraska, California, and Oklahoma to visit her sons and grandchildren, creating lasting memories and traditions that will live on for generations.

Professionally, Terry dedicated many years to serving others as a dental assistant. More recently, she found fulfillment as a Kitchen Specialist at Northridge High School, where her warmth and dedication touched the lives of countless students and staff.

Terry is survived by her husband, Lee Hendrikson; her sons James (Shiloh) Corbett, Shawn (Jamie) Corbett, and Christopher (Tiffany) Corbett; and her cherished grandchildren Brayden, Hailey, Oliver, Calvin, Landon, Carter, Finnegan, Nicholas, and Mariah Corbett. She is also survived by her sisters Brenda Croteau and Donna (Gary) Krautschun; her brothers Buddy (Deb) Croteau and Rick (Tammy) Croteau; and many beloved nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and great-nephews.

She was recently preceded in death by her parents, Solon and Christine Croteau.

Teresa’s unwavering love, kind heart, and gentle spirit will be missed dearly by all who knew her. Her memory will continue to shine through the lives of her family and the many people she touched throughout her life.

A celebration of Teresa’s life will be held June 14 at 1pm at Adamson Life Celebration Home in Greeley, Colorado.
