Theresa grew up surrounded by a loving, busy family full of laughter, kindness, and many family pets.

Theresa met the love of her life, Paul J Petrill, in Norfolk, VA and married in December of 1987. Her love of caring for others extended into devoting herself to motherhood to raise her two children, Alex and Kathryn. Being a mom was her greatest joy in life, never missing a single event or milestone.
She volunteered in her community to help those in need, sorting food at the warehouse for the Fredericksburg Food Bank, office work for Catholic Charities, helping underprivileged children with homework at the after school program; Brain Builders, as well as numerous other causes. Wherever she was needed, Theresa was there.
Always full of life it wouldn’t have been the same without her family around her. Her sister Margaret Dwyer Bradley preceded her in death. Survived by her husband, Paul Joseph Petrill; her son Michael Alexander Petrill; her daughter Kathryn Lynne Petrill. Brothers Hamilton Russell Dwyer and Arthur Lindars Dwyer; and sister Patricia Anne Dwyer; as well as numerous cousins, nieces, nephews, and grand-nieces/nephews.

The family would like to thank a couple angles who worked tirelessly to help Theresa’s last few weeks; Patricia Dwyer and Mary Bradley Tjepkes.
