Theresa A.

"Terry" Figueroa-Hatch

On December 28, 2025, at the age of 67, Theresa A. Figueroa, affectionately known as Terry, surrendered her spirit to the embrace of eternity. A brave soul who danced through life with courage while battling Type 1 diabetes, she leaves behind a legacy woven with love and compassion.
Born on September 15, 1958, in Stoneham, she was the cherished daughter of the late Beverly and Wesley Williams. Terry's journey began in Stoneham and flourished in Chelsea, where she illuminated the stage as a trained ballerina and professional dancer. Her talents also graced the halls of a Boston accounting firm and sparkled during her time as a part-time barmaid, where her laughter and warmth touched the lives of many.
While she enjoyed life as a devoted homemaker, Terry's heart resonated with the thrill of sports, and she remained an avid fan throughout her years. She embraced the joys of family life, leaving behind her two adoring children, Johnneene Hatch and Douglas Hatch. Her legacy continues through her cherished grandchildren: Julian, Julianna, Antonio, Nehemiah, Annika, and Alexa—each a reflection of her boundless love.
Terry was a devoted sister to James "Skip" Reddington, Sharleene Flores, and Darren McDonald. She was the cherished aunt to many nieces, nephews, great nieces, and great nephews. And dear friend and confidant of Carrie Sweeney Bosque.
She now joins her late siblings Kimberly and Joseph Reddington, Michael McDonald, and Brenda Martinez in an everlasting reunion. Alongside them in spirit is her adored emotional support chihuahua, "Tiny", who brought her comfort and joy.

The funeral services were private. In a testament to her enduring spirit, friends who wish to honor her memory may contribute in "Terry's" name to the Joslin Diabetes Center, One Joslin Place, Boston, MA 02215.

As we bid farewell, let us remember the rhythms of her laughter, the grace of her dance, and the love she so freely shared. Forever in our hearts, Terry will be missed, but her spirit will continue to inspire those who had the privilege to know her.
