Josephine (Wela)

She was a devoted mother, beloved friend, and cherished member of the Seguin community who lived a full and meaningful life, dedicated to her family and friends.

Teresa was born on December 22, 1953, in Houston, TX to Lee and Shirley Humphreys and spent her formative years there. After a 30+ year career in insurance, Teresa retired to help care for her beloved husband, Allen Cohen and her parents who had preceded her onto their next journey.

Teresa was a lifelong member of the Elks organization and a passionate supporter of its charitable initiatives. She was committed to making a positive difference in her community and devoted countless hours to volunteer work through the Elks.

Teresa was a huge fan of the San Antonio Spurs and her love for the team was evident in everything she did, and she took great pride in cheering on the Spurs through good times and bad. She frequented Spur’s games with her good friend, Leigh Harrelson and they were some of her happiest times.

Teresa is survived by her two children, Nicole Waskiewicz and Chris Smith, her granddaughter Anastacia Islas, and her brother Franklin Humphreys who will miss her dearly.

It was her favorite restaurant; so come with stories and love.

We will forever cherish the memories we have of Teresa. She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.

Galvan was a one of kind Wife, Mother, and Grandmother she loved all her family and friends. She was a passionate person always praying for others. Waking up every morning to a cup of coffee, starting her day with Peanut being her best companion.

She enjoyed listening to church music, going to yard sales, cooking, making tortillas sometimes tamales, and watching her favorite novelas. Her favorite outside plants were roses and Chile pepper plants. On Football Sundays you could hear her shouting, watching the Dallas Cowboys play.

In her home she always kept pictures everywhere of the family keeping the memories alive! She called every day to check in on us and we won’t forget the sound of her voice telling us how much she loved us!
