PADRON, Teresa Elizabeth Mantero- Born March 5, 1946 Died January 1, 2021. Returned to the presence of her Heavenly Father peacefully in her home accompanied by her loving husband Walter Padron.

Grandmother to Gabriel, Natalie, Samantha, Mathias, Tomas, Letecia, Sophia, Lurenz, Lucas, Karson, Christian, Jordan, Elena, Soleil, Sean-Lazaro, Teresa Mia, Kostas, Madison. Teresa was a caring and helpful daughter who helped her parents raise her brothers and sisters. She was always close to Heavenly Father and followed closely her Christian faith which opened the way for her to recognize the true gospel of Jesus Christ when missionaries of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints knocked on her door in Montevideo. At church she overcame her timidity and fear of public speaking in order to serve in the Lord's work where she held various calling in the Relief Society. These callings gave her the opportunity to serve others which is something she excelled at. Mom was happiest while in the service of others, whether her parents and siblings as a young woman or to her husband, her mother-in-law who she took loving care of or her children. She had the opportunity to travel the world and everywhere she went she was loved and received with open arms. A private family service will be held at a Chapel of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on Tuesday, January 5, 2021 followed by interment at Meadowvale Cemetery. Said service will be broadcast via Live Streaming by Futher-Franklin Funeral Home Facebook page.
