She is survived by her devoted husband of 59 years, Raymond F. Manion, and their children, Tracy Weldon and her husband, Paul of West Boylston, Angela Innamorati and her husband, Alexander of Spencer, and Kevin Manion and his wife, Elizabeth of Troutman, North Carolina; her treasured grandchildren, Kayla Innamorati and her husband Tao Rizai, Alexander Innamorati, Evan Innamorati, Joshua Weldon, Brady Weldon, Brooke Weldon, Jason Weldon, Avery Manion, David Manion, and her beloved great-grandson, Jackson Rizai. She also leaves behind her dear siblings, Francis Tambolleo, Joseph Tambolleo and his wife Joy, Lucy Brodeur and her husband David, Grace Crosby, Shirley Cobb, Rose Gallagher, and Mary Marold and her companion Jack as well as many nieces, nephews, and close friends whose lives she touched.
Theresa is predeceased by her siblings, sister Anna Renzoni, brothers Johnny Tambolleo and Anthony Tambolleo.
Born in Worcester and raised in West Boylston, Theresa was the daughter of the late Frank and Philomena (Gonelli) Tambolleo. A graduate of West Boylston High School. She carried her spirit of kindness and humility through her life and career as a hairdresser, and the proud owner of Terry's Chalet, a cherished beauty salon that always had the talk of the town and witnessed many friendships blossom.
Theresa's life was a testament to generosity; she was always ready to help anyone in need or offer her advice. She was a woman of faith and a proud Eucharistic minister. She found joy in the thrill of the casino, floating around the pool in the summer with her family and friends. She was a social butterfly- as past president of the senior center, swimming at the Y, Zumba classes, concerts on Sunday nights and she always loved to enjoy a good meal.
Theresa and Raymond shared a bond that was inseparable, a partnership so intertwined that they were always seen side by side. Above all, her husband, children and grandchildren were the cornerstone of her existence.
