Theresa Ann Anderson-Cole, beloved wife, mother, sister, and daughter, passed away in peaceful sleep at home on April 14th, 2025 at the age of 64.

Born in Walpole, Massachusetts, Theresa grew up in a busy home full of siblings and love. Graduating from Walpole High School in 1979, she chased her dream of becoming a hairstylist across the country, earning her California Board of Cosmetology License from De Loux School of Cosmetology in 1984.

Theresa had an artistic gift for hairdressing, sharing her talents with so many in our San Diego community for over 37 years. Those who sat in her chair, including staff and players from the San Diego Chargers, were renewed by her playful spirit and charming sense of humor. In retirement, she enjoyed volunteering her time at local senior centers giving residents free haircuts and brightening their day. She encouraged her daughters to follow their dreams and to be of service to others.

Theresa is survived by her devoted husband Zachary, beloved kitty Earl, daughters Marisa and Gina, mother Frances, and siblings George, Gary, and Linda, who will carry forward her memory with love and gratitude.

A memorial to celebrate Theresa’s life will be held on June 21, 2025 at the San Diego Memorial Chapel, 4512 Imperial Ave, San Diego, CA 92113. All who knew and loved her are welcome. Flowers can be sent to the chapel c/o Zachary Cole and monetary donations can be sent via Venmo to marisa-deluca-3.
