Terese “Terry” M. Quint

Peacefully entered God’s welcoming arms on October 25, 2025, at the age of 77. Terry was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on February 28, 1948. She is preceded in death by her late husband Richard “Wabo” Wabiszewski, and parents Elmer and Amelia Quint. She is survived by her daughter Jill Klosinski and son Jason (Tonya) Zeczycki, grandchildren Kayla and Nathan, and great-grandchildren Katmai and Kazwel. She is also survived by her loving sisters Judy (late Ken) Nogalski, Karen (Gary) Plewe, Kim (late Bob) Sweet, and Lori (Fred) D’Amico. She is also loved by “beary” best friend Beverly, countless extended family members, friends and caregivers.

Terry was a kindhearted wife, mother, grandmother, great- grandmother and sister whose greatest joy in life was spending time with her family and friends. Her gift of gab often included the words “blah, blah, blah” which became part of her endearing character.

After early homemaking years, she re-entered the workforce for a few years as a sales representative with her family’s business in Milwaukee, Colorchrome Dinette. Then Terry began a successful business career with a pharmaceutical company as an international purchasing agent for more than 15 years.

Terry is remembered as a gentle soul who loved all animals and enjoyed cooking, bowling, music, dancing, going to concerts and festivals. A few favorite memories include Terry with her foot-long lizard Leo and beloved cat Sammy Jo; her big bowl of shrimp salad that she made for every family party; and her love of festivals with music and dancing (especially Summerfest).

The family extends its heartfelt thanks to Terry’s caregivers at Azura Memory Care-Brookfield (our “angels with faces”), Brighton Hospice and Lori Mueller.

Visitation will be on Saturday, November 15, 2025, at Krause Funeral Home, 12400 West National Avenue, New Berlin, Wisconsin from 11:00 AM – 12:45 PM, with a service
at 1:00PM.

Terry enjoyed wearing animal prints. Please feel free to wear an animal print to celebrate her zany fashion sense.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Happy Endings No Kill Cat Shelter, 5349 West Forest Home Avenue, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53220.

Terry was certainly unique and fun to be around. Her warmth, kindness and love will be deeply missed by all who knew her… “blah, blah, blah.”
