Therese M. Buss, 70, Green Bay, passed away Wednesday, August 16, 2023. She was born January 20, 1953, in Green Bay to Leo and Arlene (Berken) Renkens.

Terry graduated from Southwest High School. She was a hard worker, sometimes working two to three jobs at a time, making sure her children never went without. She was strong willed, happy, determined, and independent. Terry ran a daycare and was always smiling. She loved reading, singing, dancing, and a variety of other hobbies. Terry enjoyed Christmas time, Christmas movies and Hallmark movies. She had a zest for life that never diminished even after suffering a debilitating stroke 28 years ago. Despite losing mobility in her body, her mind stayed strong, and her heart stayed happy.  She enjoyed working at the Green Bay C.P. Center. Terry loved being a grandma and will always be remembered for the smile on her face.
