I called you Threas Ann, you were a neighbor and cousin. I was a little bit younger than you, but I knew you. I heard what a wonderful, dedicated nurse you were. I am glad we got to visit at Harmon House and reminese and share photos of the Benedict family. Rest in Peace my dear cousin.

I worked with Theresa in the Operating Room at Westmoreland for many years. She was a nurse you could always count on. Her. Dedication to the patient and the doctors she assisted was beyond reproach. I respected her as professional, a person and a dear friend.

Theresa was one of the kindest and most compassionate nurses that I know. She treated her patients with dignity and a soft voice. To us younger nurses she shared all of her knowledge with great enthusiasm. We loved her. She had a wonderful smile and loved teaching us all the correct sterile techniques and procedures. We truly have lost an angel of mercy. Rest in peace.

No matter what name she answered to, Theresa,Teet,Toots or the name her dad called her,Tick,she would be there for you.
Although we are cousins
we referred to each other as sister and brother.
I remember the day I drove her to nursing school, in Greensburg, to begin her amazing 40 plus years.
She WAS a friend to all.
RIP MY LOVE.
