Theresa was a devoted wife, loving mother, cherished grandmother and great-grandmother, and the heart and soul of her family. She shared 57 beautiful years of marriage with her beloved husband, Sebastian, who preceded her in death eight years ago. Together, they built a family and a lifetime of memories that will forever be treasured.
Blessed with three daughters Roseann(Daniel), Dawn(Ricky), Sheryl (Frank), grandchildren: Jessica, Daniel, Nicole, Nicolette, Joseph, Frankie, And Mariah, and great-grandchildren: Brian, Haylee, Amelia, Ava, and Evan. Theresa devoted her entire life to caring for the people she loved. Her family was her world, and there was nothing she wouldn’t do for them. She was, without a doubt, the strongest and hardest-working person her family ever knew. She gave endlessly of herself, always putting the needs of her loved ones before her own, offering her strength, her time, her comfort, and her unconditional love.
Theresa was the glue that held her family together. She made a house a home and brought everyone together around the table for Sunday dinners, holidays, and all the moments in between. Those gatherings were more than traditions; they were a reflection of the love she poured into her family and the bonds she worked so hard to keep strong.
She also found joy in the things she loved, especially shopping and redecorating her home. She had a special way of making everything feel beautiful, welcoming, and full of life. Her home was a reflection of her heart: a place where her family could always gather, feel loved, and know they belonged.
Theresa’s life was defined by sacrifice, strength, hard work, and a love that knew no limits. She spent her years taking care of everyone around her, creating memories, carrying traditions forward, and making sure her family always had what they needed. Her love was present in the big moments and in the countless little things she did every day, often without ever asking for anything in return.
Though our hearts are broken by her loss, the love Theresa gave us will never leave us. We will carry her with us every Sunday dinner, every holiday gathering, every familiar corner of home, and every family moment where we wish she were there. Her lessons, her traditions, her strength, and her unwavering love will live on through the generations she helped shape.
We love you endlessly, Theresa. You spent your life taking care of all of us, and now you leave behind a family who will spend the rest of their lives carrying your love in their hearts. You will never be forgotten, and you will always be a part of us. Rest peacefully, reunited with your beloved Sebby. You will be loved for all eternity.
