She graduated from Fort Collins High School in 1955. During the years ahead, she first moved to join friends in Oregon, eventually making her way down the West Coast of the United States. She took classes in child and elder care and spent several years working for various individuals and entities, including teaching young children on some of the reservations in Arizona.

Theresa was a loving and caring individual. The family would like to express their appreciation of the care and concern extended by Bloom Healthcare, Bristol Hospice and Poudre Canyon Healthcare and Rehabilitation, with particular thanks to Maty, Lucy, Dani, Katie, Kelly and Julie. Theresa spent twenty years living at Woodbridge Senior Housing and made many good friends there. Those friends have helped her family deal with the loss: Lori, Margaret, Pat, Stephanie and many others over the years have enriched her life.
Theresa maintained a strong faith in God for most of her years. She believed that whatever was ahead was not to be feared but to be welcomed. We will miss her deeply.
