She was educated in New Haven schools and worked for many years for the A. C. Gilbert Manufacturing Company famous for American Flyer trains and the Erector Set until she welcomed her true calling in life that of dedicated wife, mother, and grandmother. She treasured time spent with her children and grandchildren. Her main goal in life was the happiness and welfare of her family which meant the world to her. Teresa and Leo had so many wonderful years of happiness which included vacations with her children and grandchildren, New York Broadway shows, dining, and theatre.  Later in their marriage Alzheimer’s ravaged Teresa’s mind but not her fighting spirit. She lived a blessed and wonderful life which no amount of Alzheimer’s could ever take away.
