Theresa "Terry" Campos entered into eternal life on September 18th 2017, surrounded by family and love. Terry fought the most courageous and grace filled fight against cancer, all the while being an inspiration to everyone she met, even if she didn’t know them but forced them to know her. Terry was born in LaPorte, IN to Sophia and Adam "Lefty" Wegiel and was the second youngest of six crazy and fun loving Wegiel’s. After spending six years in India, caring for the poor and sick, Terry came home with a small souvenir, Mario Campos, the love of her life. All 1,000 of Mario’s people became her people and through this 40-year loving union Terry became the Polish sister-in-law and Auntie they never knew they wanted, but so dearly needed and loved. Terry and Mario were blessed with two perfect children who never did anything wrong except over-excelling at writing obituaries. Terry loved her nursing career and dedicated 40 years to bothering doctors and nurses in operating rooms with her stories of Notre Dame football, while ensuring everyone in the room was well informed on how to do their jobs, especially the doctors. Rest assured, Terry is now happy and probably making Jesus do the chicken dance, smiling that she has just made heaven a little bit more Polish. Behind this wonderful woman, is a little Indian man who survives her, Big Mario Campos. She is also survived by her ornery siblings; John Wegiel, Patricia Cummings, Leonard Wegiel, and Rose Wegiel, the aforementioned perfect children; Christopher Campos and Crista (Campos) Wagner, along with loved beyond words, grandchildren: Nika Carroll, Ellery and Pierson Wagner, and bonus grandchildren Nathan and Meghan Campos. Terry asked that no one wear black as she planned on "going out in color" and wanted this to be a fun celebration of her life. If this is upsetting to you, she would ask you to "build a bridge and get over it". A visitation will be held on Friday, September 22nd, 6-8pm at Cavin-Cook Funeral Home (494 E. Plaza Drive, Mooresville, NC 28115). A funeral mass will be held on Saturday, September 23rd, 11:00am at St. Therese Catholic Church (217 Brawley School Road, Mooresville, NC 28117).
