Theresa C. Veselka

Theresa’s journey on earth began and ended on the same special day in her life. On August 5th 2025, Theresa celebrated her last birthday with her family. She then peacefully left this world to celebrate a heavenly birthday with her previously departed loved ones including her late husband John Veselka and most recently her sister Patricia Weiczorek. Theresa, the youngest daughter of the late Sally and Edward Stanislowski, was born in Milwaukee and her life’s adventures took her to many places but she eventually found her way back to Milwaukee where she found a love that towers over all. She met the love of her life John Veselka. John and Theresa married and together they created a beautifully combined family. Together they literally rebuilt their lives together in Milwaukee for many happy years until John's passing. Theresa’s strong Polish upbringing was very influential on her life. It guided her as she created a solid foundation that focused on the importance of family and taking care of loved ones. She was a remarkable cook and could feed a Polish army at any given time. Theresa made sure everyone that came to her house felt happy, satisfied, and most importantly loved.

Theresa made a career being a medical administrator and worked with several companies throughout her life. Theresa’s strong determined mindset made everyone who met her ask her for advice and guidance on many aspects of life.

Theresa’s life centered around her sons’ Christopher and Brian and as she left this earthly world they held her hands tightly.

Theresa's strong determination for life continues in the family she leaves behind. Her sons Christopher Stanislowski, Brian (Andrea) Kazinski and her daughter Michele Vega. Theresa had two grandchildren Bree Kazinski and Jesus Vega. Theresa’s siblings, and partners in crime, Mary, Leroy and the late Patricia will forever carry the memories of her life. Theresa's close family extends to all her nieces and nephews along with their families which include Patricia and Gordon’s family Jay (Donna) Wieczorek, Jamie (Tony) Tomaszewski, Brandi (Richard) Wieczorek, Britney Wieczorek, Jesse Wieczorek, the late Brenda Koporetz and a special nephew-in-law Tod Koporetz. Mary Bonsack’s family Alaina (Mark) Mohr, Carla Bonsack, Harvey (Sandy) Bonsack. Leroy and Vickie’s family Jason Drenski and Mandy (Ryan) Pluskota and Marlo Stanislowski and Tammy (Pete) Albiniak. In addition to all their children and families. Family, friends, neighbors like Marie made her life full and meaningful.

Theresa's journey is over in this world but the collection of memories, pictures, and stories lives on through everyone she knew. Her story lives on...
