Mrs. Theresa M. (Giambrone) Muto, age 91, of Mann St., Frankfort, beloved wife of Fred J. Muto, went home to be with the Lord and her departed loved ones unexpectedly on Friday, November 4, 2005, at Faxton-St. Luke's Healthcare, New Hartford, with her loving and caring family by her side.

On November 18, 1939, Theresa was united in marriage to Fred J. Muto at St. Mary's Church in Frankfort. The couple has shared a faithful and devoted commitment to one another and to their family for 65 years. A member of Our Lady Queen of Apostles Church, Frankfort, Theresa was a spiritual woman. Worship played a significant and guiding role in her life: whether she was engaged in quiet and private prayer, or whether she was attending Mass, it was the utmost importance to her to praise the Lord and His Word. Theresa was a devoted wife, mother and grandmother. In caring for her family, she provided loving support and thoughtful guidance. Possessing a good-natured manner, she always greeted everyone with open arms that came into her home. She possessed an energetic approach to her obligations and put forth her best efforts into daily living and was rewarded with the best that each day had to offer.
