Theresa enjoyed bowling, playing cards, gardening and being a greeter at St. Elizabeth's. Above all, she loved her family and friends. Theresa was a fabulous cook and family meals were epic. If she knew you were visiting, you were in for a treat, maybe the best pizza you ever had, fried zucchini, panettone, apple strip or some other delight.

So, Mom, Grandma, GG, you will be missed, loved and always in our hearts.
