Theresa Hepburn Obituary

Theresa Hepburn was born on Aug. 15, 1927, in Grand Falls, New Brunswick, Canada, to Michael Thomas Curran and Rose Beaulieu Curran. One of 12 children, she graduated from Grand Falls High School at the age of 16 and in 1951 married Johnston J. (Red) Hepburn, who predeceased her.

She is survived by two sisters, Eileen Jordan of Colchester, and Pauline Ferris of St. John, New Brunswick, Canada. She is also survived by many nieces and nephews and their families, all of whom lovingly considered their "Aunt Theresa," a second mother. Always kind and generous in spirit, Theresa spent most of her adult life raising, nurturing, and guiding various parts of a large and grateful family tree. She leaves behind a legacy of tireless faith, compassion, and an enduring devotion to family.

Funeral services will be held at St. James Church, 896 Main St., Manchester, at 10 a.m. today, Feb. 27.

The John F. Tierney Funeral Home, Manchester, has care of the arrangements. For online condolences, please visit
