Theresa “Teri” Kalinowski
September 25, 1934 – December 5, 2023
Hegewisch, IL (recently of Crown Point, IN)
On December 5, 2023, Teri was given her wings and went to walk among the angels.
Teri grew up in Hegewisch with her parents, Peter and Chestine Lisek, and was “big” sister to Ann (Barth) Kosarko and Chris (Hank) Trzupek. She was blessed to live a beautiful love story with her devoted husband Dan for 63 years. Together, they showered love on their five children – Dan (Karen) Kalinowski, Lisa Kalinowski, Michelle (Pat) Hennessy, Denise Kalinowski, and Karenmarie Kalinowski.
Teri loved to be with her family and filled every holiday with love and family traditions. She was blessed and cherished her 12 grandchildren, 6 great grandchildren, and nieces and nephews. She and Dan enjoyed their golden years in Crown Point and were parishioners of St. Mary’s Church. Teri was a loving, caring, beautiful soul who will be greatly missed by all.

She and Dan put a smile on everyone’s face that came into Royal Hawk. I think we all cheered in our own way when she returned to their swing on the back porch. We will miss seeing them together out there. What a good life well lived. God bless him for the example of love and devotion he showed us all through his care and love for her. Neighbors on Holley
