Therese O'Brien-Caffrey Obituary

Passionate, carrying, and giving, that is how I will remember Terri. A heart as big as they come and a zest for life that never seemed to stop. Terri was one of those that made coming to work better and more enjoyable. There is a void in Big Red.

We were very sorry to hear about Therese. I know the sadness you are feeling right now, but try to remember all of the wonderful times you had with her. It will be those memories that will help get you through this very difficult time. Our deepest sympathy to the family. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. The Dolezak family truly loved Therese and we will miss her very much.

I had the pleasure of working with Terri on the TAP team. She was always a friendly source of information and a kind word. We have all lost by her passing. My thoughts and prayers are with her and her family and friends.

To Terry's family, you are in my prayers. Terry was the first one that I met when I entered CNA building 5 years ago on my first day of work. She was assigned to be my buddy, and a good loyal buddy she was. She started me on my journey into AUTO and we struggled thru many rate changes (CHUNKS) together. She was so warm and loving, always talking about family and Quincy. She will always have a special place in my heart. Thanks so much for the 'beanie', it means so much having a part of her for keepsake.

I am devastated by the news of Terri's passing. I was Terri's partner when we worked in Corporate Services at CNA and I attended her wedding to Brendan. My heart goes out to the Caffrey and O'Brien families, she will be missed.

Theresa was very special and a joy to sit with on the train...I saw her more on the Rock Island than at family gatherings...family got so big it was hard to see extended cousins....I will always keep you in my thoughts Theresa...

Terry,as we ppl from Syntel(India) knew her through CNA, will always be remebered for her joyful laugh. Your smiling face will always flash in my mind whenever I see a Shamrock or the whitesox logo. This friend from India will always cherish having an Irish friend.Not only a lot of ppl from CNA but some friends from India also miss you.
My deepest condolences to her family, friends.

My deapest sympathy goes out to the O'Brien and Caffrey families. Terri will always be remembered for her Huge Heart and Joyful Laugh. She will truly be missed at work! My thoughts and prayers will be with you during this very difficult time.

My prayers are with you my dear old friend, Therese and your family. Even though we did not stay constantly in touch over the years - every time we got together for dinner or a ride on the train, it was as if we never were apart. Your smile and love for your nieces and nephews were always evident. You will now join some of our good buddies of years past -Johnny Christian and Cal to name a few. Do you remember...stealing the tags from TShirt Tom - our group always had fun. Your constant smile was your greatest attribute. You will be missed.
We will have a drink to you. Love you.

Therese was a very loving person and always made you laugh. A true South sider-Loved the SOX,The South Side Irish Parade, Children and Animals.Most of all she loved Brendan dearly. Our good times have been at Wards at the LP Christmas parties at Evergreen Park. We will miss her. Our thoughts and prayers are with Brendan and family.

I worked with Terri for many years at CNA and have many wonderful memories. I am truly saddened by her passing and my thoughts and prayers are with her family at this time.

Therese and I have been friends for the last 15 years. We worked, lunched, bowled, spent St. Patrick's Day together at Fox's Pub, and most of all laughed and cried together.

The thing that I will remember most of Therese is the love she had for her family and the compassion and loyalty she showed for her pets (Pepper & Quincy).

The children were always special to her. I feel as if I watched all you grow up. She always had a picture or a funny story to share about the events in your lives. I hope that you realize just how much she loved you all.

I will miss her dearly.

I'm sure God has welcomed her with open arms and a smile. God bless you all in your sorrow.

Therese's CNA buddy,
Sandy Rahn

Terri was my neighbor on the floor and she will be missed. Everytime someone mentions her, I cry because her spirit was so pleasant and you can't help but to feel the pain of losing someone so special. She always brought me chocolate and my son loved spending time with her when he came for Kids Day last year. We used to tease about her purse collection and how I was waiting on her to have a yard sale so that I could buy them from her... :) My prayers go out to you and yours.

Terri's awesome personality, kindness and humor assisted with my initiation into the CNA Forms team and I'll never forget her. My deep condolences to all of her family and friends (you too Quincy). God Bless you all!

Very sorry for your lose, Brendan you and Therese were a great pair.

Having met Theresa many times, the lost in overwhelming. She was a great and wonderful person. My condolences to Brendan, and all members of the O'Brien and Caffery familes.

My deepest sympathies to Terri's family. Terri was a very funny, warm, and caring person - and there was NO BIGGER SOX FAN ALIVE!! Terri, your light will always shine bright...

Please accept my condolences for your loss. I knew Teri from CNA and used to visit while smoking. Her beautiful, always smiling face, laughter and love for her family will be my beautiful memories. She adored all of you. My happy memories will also include her funny stories of her beloved dogs - present & past. I am hoping to celebrate her life with a goal of quitting smoking. She was a shining light which left us too soon.

Therese was such a dear friend to the old Drake Street neighbors-We would hang out on the porch and talk for hours-I'm sure she's catching up on the gossip with aunt anita right now-We'll miss your smiling face Therese.
Love
Sandy Smith

I'm very sorry for your loss. Terri was a very special person; I worked with her many years ago (1987-1991) but have never forgotten her. Even though our contact over the past few years was limited to email, her bubbly personality and sense of humor still were evident, and she will be missed.

I have wonderful memories of the time I shared with Therese when I worked at CNA. My thoughts and prayers are with her family.
