Theresa was a wonderful and fun-loving little lady. She was a very dear friend of my deceased mother, Wanda Duke, of Merrimac Point in Portsmouth. She was a wonderful neighbor as well and loved by all. I enjoyed chatting with her and laughing...she had a smile and sense of humor one could never forget and so much love and compassion in her heart for others.

Theresa will be sadly missed. I enjoyed her company and humor at the weekly bingo games at the Beazely Center in Portsmouth. She was a great friend.
