Theresa K. Helmuth, of Verga, NJ passed away peacefully, surrounded by her family on July 28, 2025 in the home she was born in 90 years ago.

Legacy

Mom and Dad were members of the Street Rod Club for many years. Mom enjoyed watching the Phillies win and when they lost, would holler at the TV. Mom loved spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, always giving hugs and kisses and making sure they received a card on their special day. When Mom and Dad retired, they built a deck on the back of their home which was Mom's favorite place to sit. Mom enjoyed puzzles and could not pass on the sweet treats.
