Theresa worked at Stackpole and also as a cook at Desio’s Restaurant and the Kane Community Hospital. She enjoyed crocheting, knitting and sewing. She made many treasured gifts over the years for her loved ones. She was an excellent cook and baker and was known for her groskie cookies whom she shared with everyone. She enjoyed spending time on her porch watching the birds and squirrels. She had a love for cats and would feed every stray that showed up. She loved her family, especially her grandchildren who held a special place in her heart. Everyone will miss her dearly.
