It’s with great sadness that we announce the passing of Teresa Moreno Aguallo, a devoted wife, sister, family member and friend. Teresa passed away peacefully after a short illness on June 7, 2023, in Fresno, CA, surrounded by her loving family. She was 65 years old. Teresa was born to Rudy and Abbie Moreno on September 12, 1957, in Fresno, CA. She lived her entire life there and was a graduate of McLane High School’s class of 1975. After graduation, Teresa went on to become an exemplary employment training specialist in Business, working 11 years for S.E.R. - Jobs for Progress, in Sanger, CA. Her professional acumen, and ease connecting with people, led her to become Lead Human Resources Analyst at Fresno State University. Highly regarded, respected and awarded by her superiors and colleagues, Teresa retired from FSU in 2017, after 20 years of service. But the best moment of Teresa’s life came at a social gathering when she serendipitously met the love of her life and soulmate, John Aguallo. They were together for 6 years before getting married in 1993, and adored life together for 36 years! And what a life it was! With John at her side, Teresa did it all . . . world travel, interior design, music, cooking, dancing, hosting celebrations, crafting, fundraising, playing cards, visiting family and friends, and telling stories that would make you laugh and cry! She held her family near and dear to her heart, kept in touch with those she loved, and never forgot a face. Anyone who knew Teresa felt her kindness, acceptance and giving spirit. Teresa Moreno Aguallo was predeceased by her parents Rudy and Abbie Moreno; mother-in-law Alice Arroyo; father-in-law Lupe Aguallo; step-father Gilbert Arroyo, Sr.; step-sister and brother-in-law Penny and Larry Stanford; niece Crystel Stanford; nephew Anthony Arroyo, and others.
