Theresa Alexander Obituary
Theresa A. Alexander, 89, of Exeter, passed away Sunday, Dec. 25, 2022, at Highland Manor Nursing Center in Exeter.
Born Jan. 3, 1933, in Exeter, Theresa was the daughter of the late John and Anna Koscelansky Kostisock.
Theresa was a member of St. Monica Parish, West Wyoming, and the Wyoming/West Wyoming Seniors.
Prior to her retirement, she was employed in the garment industry and was a member of the International Ladies Garment Workers Union.
She was a woman of many enjoyments. She was an animal lover, an avid bowler and enjoyed listening to polka music.
She was quite the social butterfly and enjoyed meeting new people - nobody was a stranger to her.
Above all, her greatest enjoyment was spending time with her family.
Her many nieces and nephews were the light of her life.
Theresa was a wonderful light-hearted spirit who touched so many lives. She was a beloved aunt to many and will be sadly missed by those who knew and loved her.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her first husband, Stephen Milo; second husband, Donald Alexander; and sisters, Florence Maffei, Anna Marie Casterline and Marion Pocceschi; and her great-niece, Jennifer Casterline.
Theresa is survived by her nieces and nephews, Ronald Casterline and his wife, Rae Ann, Exeter; Joyce Boyer and her husband, Cleon, Wyoming; Michael Pocceschi, and his wife, Glenna, Exeter; Donna Pocceschi, West Wyoming; and John Pocceschi, and his wife, Donna, Yardley; as well as several generations of nieces and nephews.
Funeral services were held from Bednarski Funeral Home, 168 Wyoming Ave., Wyoming, with a Mass of Christian Burial in St. Monica Parish, 363 W. Eighth St., West Wyoming, with the Rev. Peter Tomczak, officiating.
Interment was in St. John the Baptist Cemetery, Schooley Street, Exeter.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions in Theresa's name may be made to either the SPCA of Luzerne County, 524 E. Main St., Wilkes-Barre, PA 18702; or to the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, 3401 Civic Center Blvd., Philadelphia, PA 19104.
