Theresa Termini David

Theresa was born on May 22,1930 in Brooklyn New York, and remained there throughout her childhood until she moved to Connecticut in 1959.

Theresa worked proudly as a homemaker most of her life as a mother to her 8 children.

Theresa had a passion for weekly Sunday family dinners and knitting Irish knit afghans. She was a fierce scrabble player, teaching everyone the game and insisting that no one use a dictionary.

Theresa is preceded in death by their husband, Charles Termini, Son, Steven Termini, Son Baby Eugene Termini, and her brother August Gaglio.

She is survived by her children, Francis Termini, (Diane); Joanne Bisson; Theresa Termini, Charles Termini Jr. (Amanda); Patricia Brown, (Alan); Antonette Bolles; as well as 16 grandchildren and 18 great grandchildren. She is also survived by her sister Sylvia Dimotta of Coram NY.

The family would like to thank the staff of Autumn Lake Healthcare at Madison, as well as the staff of Affinity Hospice, for the care and compassion they showed Theresa in her final days. The Staff affectionately called Theresa “Momma T” as she rounded with the night nurses many nights.

A mass of Christian burial is scheduled for Saturday, June 14, 2025 at 11:00am, at St Mark Catholic Church, 222 McVeagh Road, Westbrook CT.

Interment is to follow at Riverside Cemetery, 59 Sheffield Street, Old Saybrook CT. Family and friends are invited to attend.
