Theresa was all about family and enjoyed spending her time with them. She was always ready to hit the road with any of them for a new adventure including trips to France and Italy. She traveled from Maine to Florida and from Connecticut to California. She loved going to the casino and playing the slots. When home, she could always be found working on a puzzle, playing cards, watching the Yankees play on TV, in the garden with her flowers, or baking something that smelled like home to us. We all loved her delicious cinnamon rolls and Christmas fudge. Her smile and laughter were infectious. She was an amazing woman and will be missed dearly by all who loved her.
