She married and had two children Michael (Linda) Delicce and Mary Ann (Joel) Poccia. Theresa was a dedicated mother first and foremost.

Her many interests included baking, sewing and gift-giving. She presented each and every gift tied beautifully with bows and ribbons.
She relocated at the age of 72 to Park Ridge, NJ; where she joined their Golden Age Club. Her kindness and delicate manner inspired everyone she met young and old.
