Teri Ann ( nee.Wiesman) Hardebeck, 66, passed away on November 3, 2025 at her residence in Fort Thomas, Ky.

She was born on June 21, 1959, to Barbara (nee. Schreiber) & William Wiesman and was the eldest of three daughters and a loving big sister to Debbie Wiesman and Jenny Shelton.

From an early age, Teri had a natural gift for caring for others, a quality that guided both her personal and professional life. Following her passion, she attended Booth Hospital School of Nursing and began her career at St. Elizabeth Medical Center, where she met her future husband, Charles Hardebeck.

Together, Teri and Charlie raised four wonderful daughters: Ashley, Christina, Courtney, and Lindsay. Teri was a devoted and creative mother who dedicated herself to making life fun and memorable for her family. She especially loved planning elaborate Halloween and birthday parties, always finding joy in bringing people together.

Teri had many talents that she generously shared in countless ways. She was active in her community, lending her time and energy to helping raise funds for various causes and events. Her willingness to help others and her enthusiasm for making a difference left a lasting impact on everyone she worked with.

As a grandmother, Teri’s love only grew. She adored her grandchildren—Estella, Cormac, Holden, Bowie, and Eleanor—and was known as the “funny, energetic grandma” who filled their lives with laughter, love, and the very best gifts.

Most recently, Teri served as a valued member of the Southgate Fire Department Auxiliary and a board member at the Rose Garden Center for Hope and Healing, where she wore many hats including scheduling staff for the health ministry, supporting as a receptionist and cheerfully accepted the role of party chairwoman where she was loved. She continued her lifelong mission of helping others. Her kindness, humor, and compassion brightened the days of all who knew her.

Teri had a pure heart, a generous spirit, and an infectious sense of joy. She leaves behind her loving family and countless friends—because everyone who met Teri couldn’t help but love her.

One of Teri’s favorite songs was “My Way” by Frank Sinatra, and that certainly was true of her. She lived life on her own terms, with courage, compassion, and an unwavering sense of self. Teri will be deeply missed and forever remembered by all whose lives she touched
