Teri Subia Teri Subia moved to Leisure World in August 2015 and became involved in the Sunshine Club and Senior Patriots for Peace, writing grants for mobility devices, authoring articles for the LW newspaper, and promoting the Golden Age Foundation annual fundraising drive, while also making stunning holiday baskets for GAF silent auctions. Teri was an active member of the Sunshine Club, attending weekly informational meetings and asking speakers the most nuanced and insightful questions with grace and diplomacy. She loved learning, and her enthusiasm easily influenced others to have fun while becoming educated and building community. Teri started working in finance and banking in 1964 and was vice president of a major bank at a time when Latina women were not usually invited into upper management. She was a founding member of Hispanics in Banking, was a role model for young women, socialized with senators, had lunches with high-ranking officers of banks, all while being recognized for her charming and gracious personality. After retiring from banking, she became an officer at a nonprofit organization, and under her leadership, hundreds of people receiving government aid were placed into full-time employment. Teri and her husband, Bob, traveled throughout the United States, Europe, the Caribbean and Mexico, and enjoyed dancing and baseball. They had a love for their culture. Bob predeceased Teri. She is survived by her daughter, Teresa, as well as siblings, nieces, nephews and extended family. Teresa says that no matter where she goes, she hears, “I just love your mom!” “She is such a great lady!” “I would do anything for her!”
