Theresa was well known in her community. She was involved with numerous organizations and events such as the Lioness Club, the vestry of St. John the evangelist (secretary, altar guild, took care of altar flowers, envelope secretary and fundraising events), cancer relay, Girl Guides, etc. A caring soul she certainly was. She was always there for everyone whether it was to visit a grieving family, prepare a meal or just be a shoulder to cry on. To her family, she was a source of strength and even though she was the youngest sister she was the glue that held the family together. Her family was her life. We were so blessed to have had her.
