Theresa Yantz, 83, passed away on Monday, April 6, 2020. The daughter of the late Joseph and Josephine (Massaro) Consolino, she was born in Brooklyn, NY.

She was a parishioner of St. Mother Teresa Parish, The Churches of Sacred Heart - St. Francis of Assisi, and a past member of St. Mary's Seniors Club in Newburgh and the Seniors Club in Washingtonville.
Mom loved family get togethers. Her meatballs, stuffed artichokes, and mushrooms were a traditional staple for any family gathering. She had many Italian terms of endearment she used with her family. She loved playing scrabble and rummy. Her job for dinner gatherings was to "get the cannoli's." She will be missed by her family and friends, and all that called her Nana.
