Terese Cannon, 71

By |

A beloved grandmother, mother, wife, sister, daughter and friend, Terese Cannon passed peacefully on July 7th, 2024 at the age of 71. 

Terese was born in New York City to Terry and Ralph Mazzocco, their second child and only daughter. As a child Terese spent time at the ballet with her mother and always indulged in a sweet treat at home with her late father. 

Later in life, while working in New York City, she met her husband, Ed. After several moves from New York to Westchester, they eventually settled in Connecticut, where they raised a family mirroring Terese’s own: two boys, Preston and Brandon, with Alexandra, a girl, in the middle. Terese and Ed’s 42 year marriage exemplified love, companionship, and unwavering support, which was evident in the way they raised their family. Terese was an extraordinary mother with a remarkable talent for recognizing the individuality in each of her children and guiding them accordingly.

Richard Bergmann, FAIA, whose career in architecture and landscape design left a profound mark on New Canaan, died in Venice, Florida, on July 4.

He attended the University of Wisconsin for one year before joining the U.S. Army. His service from 1954 to 1957 included the testing of guided missiles at the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico, as well as a return to Germany where he witnessed the rebuilding after the War.
