Theresa Ann Keleture, 44, of West Des Moines, passed away on November 3, 2022. Theresa was born on January 3, 1978, to Jack and Marge Willers of Davenport. She completed her Associate’s degree in American Sign Language Interpretation in 2005 at Scott Community College. In 1994 Theresa met her husband, William, through their shared work. Years later, they welcomed the birth of their daughter, Autumn, in 1999. Theresa worked several jobs ranging from a sign language interpreter to a special needs aid to and ending as a sales representative. She was an empathetic person who put others before herself and was described by many as an ‘outgoing and kind soul’. Some of her biggest passions were spending time with her loved ones, working on her sobriety, and making a difference to those who were underprivileged. Theresa was known for having an optimistic outlook and taking each day “one day at a time” as she knew both sobriety and life are to be cherished on a daily basis. She was always the life of the party with a contagious smile, her presence was the biggest gift to the world! She was a member of Sober Soldiers of Des Moines, West Des Moines Open Bible church, and various facebook groups. She was loved by many but loved many more.

Left to cherish Theresa are her husband, William Keleture, daughter Autumn Keleture, parents Marge and Jack Willers, sister Tina Petrus, brothers Russ and Todd Willers, several nieces and nephews, and many friends.

The family requests that all flowers and notes are sent to Caldwell Parrish Funeral Home.
