She was dearly loved and is survived by her sister Geraldine Wilson of Seaforth, her brother Patrick Ryan of Mitchell, and her nieces and nephews.

Theresa lived a life filled with joy and grace. She cherished her family and her brothers and sisters and their many gatherings and celebrations, as well as the social times she shared with her friends in the London area. Theresa always shared her love and care with her nieces and nephews, taking great interest in their lives and pride in their accomplishments. We deeply loved and cared for her in return.

Dear Geraldine and Families,
Sending love and prayers to you all with the passing of Theresa. May you all cherish the fond memories you have and may they provide you comfort in the days ahead. “Oh Darling” you will always be remembered ❤️
Dearest Geraldine and family, and Pat and family; I’m very sorry for all of you that lost such a dear soul. I used to be a neighbor of Theresa and George – on Fairlane Ave in London, and although we both had a couple of moves after that, we always kept in touch monthly by phone and for lunches and errands out, for many years. We were friends for almost 40 years. I will treasure my memories of that very special lady who was a dear friend to me. I find comfort in knowing she’s back with the “love of her life” George, whom she missed dearly, as well as her deceased family members.
Much love, Lori MacInnes-Potts, London.
Geraldine and family: So sorry to hear of the loss of your sister . Our thoughts and prayers to everyone at this difficult time.
Theresa was married to my cousin George. Theresa and George were truly a match made in heaven. When in their company, you could feel the love they had for each other. Theresa is remembered, by my siblings and myself, as a sweet and kind lady. Rest in peace Theresa.
What a very loving and caring lady. A real class act. 97 years old. What an accomplishment! She always said yes when I knocked on her door and bought Girl Guide cookies from me.
From the neighbour across the road on Fairlane Ave.
Wonderful memories of a real lady who set an example for us all in her time. Our sympathy to her family.

Theresa was a very sweet and lovely lady. My parents Fred and Alison Tucker spent many wonderful times together reminiscing about their days in the RCAF while they lived in London. My deepest sympathy to Theresa’s family. She had many fond memories of her and George’s family and spoke about them often. Thoughts are with you at this difficult time. Barb Mylemans
