Theresa was born in Yugoslavia, the youngest of three girls. She came to Canada at the age of 12.

She will be lovingly remembered and sadly missed by her daughter Helen (John) Gillingham, son Ed (Elsie) Bollenback, six grandchildren and ten great-grandchildren. Mom was an excellent cook, cake decorator, avid gardener, expert seamstress and crafter. She never lost her sense of humour, elegant poise and sense of style.
