Teresa Anne Woodward Pate left us on Jan. 31, 2014, after a 14-year battle with ovarian cancer. She was born in Bremerton, Wash., on Jan. 27, 1961.

Teresa grew up in Seattle and graduated from Ingraham High School. She then went on to earn a degree in interior design in college in 1984 and later joined Mithun Partners Architectural Firm in Bellevue.

Teresa married the love of her life, David Pate, in 1987. Their daughters Alison and Carly were born in 1990 and 1995, respectively.

The family lived in Sammamish, Wash. and Teresa managed multiple Eddie Bauer Home Stores.

In 2001, they made the move to Whidbey Island where Teresa realized a dream to become a real estate broker, first working at Windermere Real Estate and then moving to John L. Scott.

Teresa loved being part of the community and was involved with multiple projects in Langley as well as Hearts & Hammers. She enjoyed raising her family on their Lone Lake property, surrounded by nature and wildlife.

Service or memorial to be decided at a later date. Thank you for all your support.
