Following her marriage to Ronnie in 1962, she moved to Woonsocket and worked alongside him in their family business, Bois Sundries, where she enjoyed familiar faces and conversations with local customers. After selling their business, she then worked for her son-in-law’s company, Rhode Island Novelty. Theresa and Ronnie enjoyed retirement in Narragansett, where they spent summers on the beach and with their grandchildren. Theresa was a loving Mother, Grandmother, and friend.
