Theresa was a past member of The Church of Our Merciful Savior, where she taught Sunday School, and helped to prepare for social events in the church hall. Theresa had a strong love of family. Some of her greatest joys of family time together were backyard BBQs, Christmas Eve celebrations and summer visits to Sea Isle City with early morning walks on the beach to collect seashells. In earlier years, she loved working in her flower beds, while her husband tended to the vegetable garden, from which she canned and prepared many meals. She loved preparing her many favorite Lithuanian and Polish dishes while dancing to polkas around the kitchen. She also loved exploring for old glass bottles underneath the old willow tree in her backyard.
