Whenever I think of Theresa, I think of the night of my daughter Paula's prom. Paula was wearing a beautiful white dress and somehow got black down the front. Theresa saw that she was upset and came over. "What's wrong honey?" Paula showed her the dress. "Come with me" She took her in the canteen, took the dress and scrubbed. Paula remembers how determined she was to get the spot out and she did. She got the dress back on Paula and sent her on her way, just in time for the Grand March! I will always remember her kindness and help that night.

Diane ,Roy and family sincere condolences on the passing of your loved one, Nan and great Nan.
I remember Theresa been very attentive in watching my house that I owned next to her in Southeast, she would call me even if there was snow piled on the roof.
From my year's working in Placentia I found Theresa to be a great community person.
Rest in Peace Theresa.

Please accept my sincere condolences on the passing of Theresa.
For the past seven years Theresa and I have resided together at Beachside Manor.
For several of these years we shared a table in the dining room. I found her to be a
friendly, kind, sharing person. Her great joy was in her family and their visits obviously
made her very happy. I know you will all miss her greatly. Take pleasure in the many happy memories
you have stored from her long, fruitful life. RIP Theresa.

Diane,
Please accept my sympathy on the death of Theresa, your mom.
Roy, you have my sympathy on the death of your mother in law Theresa . I give sympathy to your children on the death of their Grandmother.
I remember Theresa from way back my childhood in Placentia and in 1974/75 our dart team at The Star. We had many laughs over our losses and smiles over our beating the other team. She told me not to show great glee when we did win and that it was all fun no matter how competitive others may be. She was funny about that and we just laughed.
Her cheerfulness every time I went to Gales Supermarket was no doubt echoed by many.
My mom Annie Follett and Theresa shared a friendship created by their many hours of volunteer at The Ladies Star of the Sea. They had support and respect for each other. When mom died in March 2011 and she was being waked, your mom because we could not find mom's Star of the Sea medals and ribbons made sure mom's recognition of her work with the Star Ladies was visible. Theresa went home and brought to the Funeral Home her own medals and ribbons to be placed next to mom in her coffin. That showed Theresa's pride for the Star Ladies and respect.make sure your mom's medals are also visible..
It was always a pleasure to be greeted with a hug and smile from Theresa on my annual home every summer whether it was at church or in her Residentral home.
From Mary Follett Jones may Theresa rest in Peace.
