With heavy hearts, we bid farewell to Therese Marie Guenther who passed away at the age of 80. She leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter, and an indomitable spirit. Therese was the loving mother to Lynn Vaughn (Dean), Karen Kirsch and Henry Kirsch (Sheri). Caring grandmother of Kyle; sister to Mary Ann Jorns (the late Robert), Raymond Guenther (Elizabeth), Regina Clark (the late Joseph), Cecelia Guenther and Carmelite Guenther. Therese is preceded in death by her parents, Raymond and Norma Guenther; her brother, Joseph Guenther.
Throughout her life, Therese was a beacon of strength and resilience. As a dedicated CPA, she devoted herself to her work, demonstrating an unparalleled aptitude for numbers and a keen eye for investments. Her expertise in finance was matched only by her generosity in sharing her knowledge with others. Therese volunteered at Covenant House in New York City assisting underprivileged and homeless youth.
Beyond her professional accomplishments, she embraced life with a passion for sports and dancing in her younger years. She found joy and camaraderie on the playing field and dance floor, leaving lasting memories with all who knew her. She will be deeply missed by her children, grandchild, siblings, large extended family and all who were fortunate enough to have known her. Though she may be gone, her
legacy of love and determination will continue to inspire us all.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to one of Therese’s favorite charities: Church of Saint James, 184 South Finley Ave, PO Box 310, Basking Ridge, NJ 07920; Boys Town, Father Flanagan's Boys' Home, Boys Town, NE 68010-9988; St Jude Children's Research Hospital, 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis, TN 38105.
