Teresa Kay Gascho, 52, of Kokomo, passed away early Monday, July 24, 2023, in Hazelton, Pennsylvania after a bucket list trip to the Pocono NASCAR race. She was born November 26, 1970, in Logansport to Donald E. and Sharon (Simmons) Bowman. She married Seth A. Gascho on June 10, 2017, in Peru, Indiana and he survives.
Teresa will always be remembered for her many incredible qualities. She loved others fiercely, always thought of others before herself, and had a gentle and kind nature. Above all else, she enjoyed spending time with her family, dogs, and playing with her grandchildren. In her free time, you could find her with a cup of “good ice”, tending to her garden, in the kitchen baking some of her favorite treats, or playing a competitive game of Euchre. She also enjoyed making keepsake items such as scrapbooks or quilts. If she wasn’t found doing these things, she could be found working on her passion projects for The Backroads Design Co. She always looked forward to carrying on family traditions, such as searching for the perfect Christmas tree from Dull’s Tree Farm, hosting holiday meals, and decorating for Christmas. She was a devoted and active member of Burlington Church of Christ, where she attended Wednesday night bible study and Sunday services. Lastly, Teresa was dedicated to her career as a Director of Property Management for over 20 years.
Her memories will live on through her surviving family, which include her husband Seth, her children, Kali Harrison, Morgan (Chad) Dillon and her bonus children, Caleb and Kirsten Gascho. She was a devoted GiGi to her grandchildren, Parker and Jameson Dillon, and an amazing sister to her siblings, Don (Penny) Bowman, Dana (Olivia) Bowman, Ethan (April) Bursley, and Aaron (Rachel) Bowman. Her nieces and nephews, Brent (Nicole), Andrew (Lauren), Jenna, Collin, Carlie, Amy Jo, Logan, Lacey, Wallace and Everett will always know her as their Aunt “TT”. She was a beloved daughter to mother, Sharon Bowman. Teresa is preceded in death by her father, Don Bowman, maternal grandparents, Warren and Mary Simmons, and paternal grandparents, Lois and Everett Bowman.
The family would like to send a heartfelt thank you to Dr. Melanie Bozard for the dedicated care she provided.
