Teresa Ehrich, of Park Ridge, died this week.
News 12 New Jersey profiled Ehrich three years ago. As a cancer patient, Ehrich noticed that those going through chemotherapy often felt cold. She decided to start crocheting wool hats for the patients – churning out dozens at a time. Thousands of cancer patients received a gift of kindness because of Ehrich’s efforts.
She will be greatly missed by all.
