Predeceased by her dear sisters Marion (the late Samuel) Yalowica and Violet (the late Ted) Tremblay and her parents Joseph and Mary Bell.

Theresa was a pillar of strength and love within her family, and her absence will be deeply felt by all who knew her.

Theresa spent her long and happy life caring and providing for others. Holidays and special occasions were always celebrated with a meal, loving prepared by her for her family and friends. In addition to raising her own children and caring for many of her grandchildren in their younger years, she supported schools and neighbours in the communities she lived by extending her care giving to their children. She was everyone’s Nan.

She enjoyed fishing with her husband Richard, bird watching, TV game shows, visiting family in St. Catherines, and in their early years, dancing and enjoy good times with friends. During times in her life she enjoyed knitting, sewing, and crocheting, but most of all she loved her family.

Her family extends a sincere ‘Thank You’ to the staff and caregivers who cared for her at Vera M Davis LTC, where she spent her final months. The care and compassion provided by their team was greatly appreciated by her family.
