Everyone who knew Theresa loved her. Her smile would brighten the room and you could see the beauty in her heart! She loved to sing and did so loudly and beautifully. We will miss those pipes. She loved Italian food, especially broccoli rabe and sausage and peppers. She taught her nieces and nephews many family recipes, and they will live on.

Due to the ongoing pandemic a private graveside service will be held at East Lawn Cemetery, East Haven. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the American Kidney Foundation, 30 East 33rd Street, New York, NY 10016
