Theresa M. Foster 77, passed away peacefully on January 14, 2025, at her home. Born in Indianapolis, Indiana, she was the daughter of the late Gilbert Joseph & Mary Catherine (Whalen) Hawkins.
Theresa worked at Stanley Bostitch in East Greenwich for over 28 years prior to her retirement. She was an amazing and deeply devoted mother, who enjoyed spending time going to thrift stores, watching British TV shows, spending time with her Grand cats and watching birds. She was a hardworking, loving and caring person. She had a big heart, and she would give anything to people if she had it. Most of all she loved spending time with her family and friends.
Theresa is survived by her loving children, Paul Foster, Elizabeth Ann Marie and Mary Angiolilli and her Husband Scott. She was the sister of Maureen McLarrin, Robert Hawkins, Joseph Hawkins, Maria MacIntyre, and Michael Hawkins and the late David and Thomas Hawkins. She also leaves behind several beloved nieces and nephews.
It was Theresa's wish that her services and burial be private.
