Theresa loved her family with all her heart. She cherished all her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews and friends. She was a special godmother to Crystal Fox,
Albert Cooper, and Rose Pangowish. She will be missed by friends Mary & Florence and her fur baby Rocky.
Theresa had a wonderful sense of humor and a unique kindness for all. She loved to spend time at the Amikook Centre where she quilted and attended workshops. She would love to play bingo, go to the casino and travel. She always was fond of visiting her family and friends. She was active with the Anishinaabemowin dictionary project with the WHO. It was through her love of storytelling and conversing that we will miss the most. Her love for life cannot be put into words.
