Teresa Lorenz, 64, of Columbus, Ohio, left this world peacefully on August 4, 2026, surrounded by her loving family in Morriston, Florida. Born on October 20, 1961, Teresa was a cherished daughter to Carl and Linda Gochenouer. Teresa had a heart full of warmth and found immense joy in life's simple pleasures. Her passion for baking brought smiles to many, and she treasured moments spent by the ocean,

whether swimming in the waves or casting a line for a catch. Above all, her greatest happiness bloomed when she was with

her beloved children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Her deep affection extended to her cherished pets, who were a

constant source of comfort and companionship. Teresa's legacy of love continues through her devoted spouse, John A. Rose Ill; her daughters, Holley L. Preston (Bryan) and Mindy L. Baker (David); her nine adoring grandchildren; and her seventeen precious great-grandchildren. She is reunited in heaven with her husband, Ralph D. Lorenz, and her parents, Carl and Linda Gochenouer. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made in Teresa's memory to the Cancer Society or St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Visitation for Teresa will be held Friday August 14, 2026, at Myers-Woodyard Funeral Home 587 Main St. Groveport, Oh. 43125, from 11:00 am until time of service at 1:00 pm. Interment Lithopolis Cemetery.
