She joined the Lord peacefully at the Pines of Utica at the age of 74. Linda’s strength in assisting her mom; especially during the last few difficult days, was truly a source of inspiration and will always be remembered.

From the early 1970’s until her retirement in 2002, Theresa worked with P & C Markets, namely within the cashier and meat departments.
