He preceded her in death on March 3, 2008, one day prior to celebrating their 62^nd wedding anniversary. Her greatest pleasure was spending time with family.

She was a self-taught seamstress, most recently sewing hundreds of face masks for family and friends.

Theresa is survived by four daughters, Marilyn (Terry) Monahan, Maxine (Steve) Lane, Eileen (Gary) Engelke, all of Platteville; and Pam (Tim) Farnham, of Wichita, KS; 14 grandchildren; and 21 great-grandchildren. Theresa was one of thirteen children and is survived by one sister, Agnes (John) Long of Menasha; and many nieces and nephews. She was preceded by her husband, George; eleven siblings; and one granddaughter.
