Theresa worked at the Prudential in Newark prior to marrying Sal in 1952. She lived in Newark until 1965. That year the family moved to Freehold and have been there since. She made life long friends on Plymouth Drive and was loved by so many. Her neighbors were part of the family. Her generous spirit, loyalty and compassionate nature will have a lasting impact on all that loved her.
A parishioner of St. Rose of Lima, Theresa was once a member of the Rosary Altar Society and the Catholic Daughters of America. Her trust in God and devotion to his blessed Mother guided her through her life and was a constant source of comfort. "Yes, others, Lord, yes, others; Let this my motto be; Help me to live for others, That I may live like Thee."

What a beautiful soul. My deepest sympathy, may She Rest In Peace. She touched my life in the neighborhood. Just loved her cooking & make her signature cookies. Loved that she always put family first, Sunday suppers.

"Mrs. Micchelli" was like my second mother growing up and she always had a big smile for me. I shared many a meal and a bed there. She had a way of making everybody feel at home. I remember her devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary vividly and now she is with her in eternal rest.
