Theresa Kocse Bornstein

March 29, 1950  -  May 28, 2025

Theresa Bornstein, (nee Kocse), 75, of Paramus, passed away on Wednesday, May 28, 2025. Theresa brought warmth, creativity, and love to everything she touched. A devoted homemaker, she filled her home with joy and beauty-most notably through her passion for crafts and cooking. From hand-sewn Halloween costumes to the comforting aroma of homemade meals, she poured her heart into every detail. Her 15-foot Christmas tree, adorned each year with over 1,000 pink ballerina ornaments, was just one of the many ways she transformed the everyday into something magical. Theresa’s legacy is stitched into the hearts of all who knew her, in every shared meal, and every cherished memory.

Devoted wife, of 57 years, of Max Bornstein. Cherished mother of Dana Hirstius and her husband Warren, David Bornstein and his wife Kellie, and Daniel Bornstein. Treasured grandmother of Sarah, Damian, Luke, Justin, Taylor, Jason, and Trevor. Loving sister of Martin Kocse and his wife Bernadine, Dennis Kocse and his wife Aleida, Randy Kocse and his wife Joanne, MaryJane Jones and her husband Richie, and Susan Edward and her late husband Randy.
