She also leaves behind numerous aunts, uncles, nieces and nephew. Theresa was born
March 14, 1952 in Sioux Lookout, ON. She and her family lived in Hudson, ON until 1962 then the family moved to a farm in Fisher Branch, MB. Theresa attended McMaster School in Fisher Branch until 1969. During this time she realized she had an interest in becoming a hairstylist and decided to move to her aunt Elsie's in Winnipeg and go to the Marvel School of Beauty. After completing her training, she went on to work at various salons throughout the city. It was during this time she met Al (Sandy) and were soon married on October 24, 1970. The couple lived in Winnipeg for a few months then moved to Ontario and eventually started their family. In 1980 Al was transferred with the CNR and they moved to Portage La Prairie, MB. Theresa stayed at home at this time to raise her two children but continued to do hair for friends and family in her home. When her children were old enough she went back to work waitressing at the Westward Village Inn and Sprigg's Family Restaurant until 1997 and also became a member of UCT. In 2000 Theresa and Al moved to Prawda, MB and resided on the farm for four years until her illness. Theresa enjoyed life. Her kind spirit, good heart and giving nature touched many people's lives throughout the years. She especially enjoyed her pets, taking care of her family, hairdressing, being a member of UCT, fishing and playing cards. Theresa always put others before herself and will be forever missed but always remembered by her family and friends. We will always cherish the memories we have of her in our hearts. In tears we saw you sinking We watched you fade away, You suffered much in silence You fought so hard to stay. You faced your task with courage Your spirit did not bend. But still you kept on fighting Until the very end. When a cure was not to be He put His arms around you And whispered, "Come to Me." So when we saw you sleeping So peaceful, free from pain. We could not wish you back To suffer that again. You didn't deserve what you went through So He took you home to rest. God's garden must be beautiful For He only takes the best. "We love you Mom-may you rest in peace now" Special thanks to Dr. Fredette and Dr. Ilcheyna and the nursing staff in Steinbach and Ste. Anne for their kindness and dedicated care.
