Theresa enjoyed her many ‘happy hours’ with family and friends playing cards to all hours with friends and neighbors.She especially loved spending time with her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, wanting to hear what was going on in everyone’s life. She was always game for any outing, especially family dinners. She could also tell you who was doing what and when. She was in the know!  

Theresa worked hard in her life and helped maintain the family farm. When the children were old enough, she took employment outside the home, working as a caregiver at Somerset Manor nursing home and at the Mid-Isle Motel coffee shop.
