Theresa N. Miles

Rumford - Theresa N. (Viens) Miles, 78, of Rumford, passed peacefully on Monday, October 6, 2025 at Tockwotton on the Waterfront, East Providence, with her loving children by her side. She was the beloved wife of the late David A. Miles. Terry and Dave were married for over 57 years, devoted to each other until his passing this past January.
