Matesa “Tesa” Watson

July 27, 1945-November 11, 2017
Tesa passed away at home surrounded by her loving family and her best friend – her cat Precious. She was a very strong, kind and caring mother, grandmother, great grandmother and friend. She never complained about the daily pain she suffered from rheumatoid arthritis. She will be missed everyday.
She is survived by her daughter Deborah Burke (Randy) her son David Pirolle, her granddaughter Tesa Garcia (Justin), her grandson Kevin Burke (Jordan), her great granddaughters Elsie and Lenore Garcia and many extended family and friends.
“God saw you getting tired, a cure not meant to be.
So he put his arms around you and whispered ‘Come with me.’
With tearful eyes we watched you and saw you fade away,
although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating, your tender hands at rest.
God took you home to prove to us he only takes the best.”
