Teresa Cocio Molina

Terry (Teresa) Cocio Molina passed peacefully on Tuesday, July 22, 2025, at the age of 75. She was born and lived in Tucson her entire life. She was a Tucson High graduate. In her career, she used her strengths as a nurturer to serve as a caregiver for the elderly. She talked about how she would feed the elders, paint their nails, and braid their hair. She tended to the small things that made them happy. She lived and left this life on her own terms. She encouraged others to appreciate the flowers, rainbows, sunsets, and daily treasures that can easily be missed while living a busy life. She loved to sing out loud, tell jokes, and dance. She was empathetic, curious, funny, generous, smart, and brave. She is survived by her husband Angel Amacio Molina; daughters Cecilia (Gregory), Teresa, and Maria (Jesus); grandchildren Josiah, Joshua (Maria), Marisella, Emil, Gregory, Gianna, Tuituli, Ili Maria, Cajeme, and Tetaviecti; siblings Sylvia, Rosie, Olivia, Ernesto, Mariano, Benny, and Steven. She is proceeded in death by parents Cruz and Angelita Cocio and siblings Ramona, Frances, Carmen, Crucita, Crucito, Marcelino and Andy. Her strength, resiliency, and gumption remain strong in her children and grandchildren. She will be so greatly missed and forever loved and cherished.
