Tessa Dawn “Tess” Grosskurth, 42 of Lusby, MD passed away peacefully at her home surrounded by family on Wednesday, February 10, 2021.  She is survived by her high school sweetheart and husband of 26 years, Ian Grosskurth; her two children, Summer (age 24) and Abbigail (age 20); her mother, Lisa Bilotta (John); father, Rick Reeder (Jaclyn); brothers, Dennis Reeder (Angela) and John “Rusty” Reeder (Christina); and her many nieces and nephews (Isaac, Caela, Ayden, Charlotte and Nora).  Tess spent her time making memories with her family and loved spoiling her nieces and nephews. She loved going to the theater, camping, enjoyed Baysox games -when they win, Renaissance festivals, and Comic-cons. Tessa loved history and visiting the old battlefields. She spent her free time reading, following her beloved UNC Tar Heels, and watching her favorite shows with family. Tess was a dedicated Paralegal for over 15 years, finding her work family with the law firm of Dugan, McKissick & Longmore.

In lieu of flowers, her family asks you to make a donation to the charity of your choice in her name.
