Therese attended Nashua Catholic Schools and Nashua High School. She was a loyal employee at Doehla Greeting Cards in the 40’s through 1960, until which time she assumed the role of devoted mother and family matriarch. A loving nurturer and overachiever, beaming with pride of her immediate and extended family, she always expressed immense interest in the current affairs and wellbeing of all her growing number of relatives.
