Obituary of Teresa Antoinette La Jeunesse

Teresa Antoinette La Jeunesse, 61, of Los Lunas, New Mexico, passed away peacefully on November 24, 2023. She was surrounded by her loving family and made it thought the loving gates to meet her lord and savor Jesus Christ. She made her entrance into this world on December 12, 1961, in the California General Hospital - which turned out to be her favorite day time soap. Teresa had a special bond with her mother which cultivated the loving nature she had with all who knew her. She worked hard for many years and each role she had allowed her to embrace her love of making people laugh. Teresa was one of the best TSA agents that the Albuquerque Intranational Airport has ever known. The last step within her working journey was as everyone’s favorite door greeter at the Belen Walmart location, her passion was to make customers and coworkers feel as if they were part of her family. She was a devoted mother, grandmother, dog grandma, sister, aunt, and friend. Teresa enjoyed spending time with her family cheering her Raider team on - win or lose, watching all types of films – she was a real movie buff, and adventuring from amusement parks to dancing down the Las Vegas Strip. She was a faithful member of the Sagebrush Christian Church and sang loud as she praised the Lord. She is survived by her husband of 40 years Jimmy, daughter Angela and son in law Nathan, daughter Felicia and son in law Brandon, mama’s boy Jimmy Jr. and daughter in law Loretta; her 8 grandchildren Christopher, Serenity, Matias, Ava, Frankie, Jimmy, Evelyn, and princess Bella.
