Sad to hear that she is gone. Theresa was a Bishop England classmate '82. I remember her attending Sacred Heart as well. She was truly a great person. Years later, she would come to Cooper Hall retirement community to visit her mom and dad. I would tell her she visited so often that I may have to give her a key to the building.

I was so sad to hear that Theresa died. Theresa worked with me at Sacred Heart Credit Union for a few years. She was so nice and easy to get along with. My sincere sympathy to all of her family, and may the Lord comfort you at this very difficult time.

I was really sad to hear this. We knew each other a long time ago. Never forgot her smile.
After reading the obituary, I dug out this cup for my morning coffee.
Prayers and condolences to the Whitney family.
Rest well, Theresa.

I saw all of you many many years ago. Our parents were cousins and even though we lived far away, we, ( The Garcia’s) grew up sensing the love between them, so much so, that when I met all of you, it was like I had always known you. I met Theresa and all of you, and that day has stayed in mi mind. God blessed you with a beautiful and dear sister and she accomplished what she had to do here, and God was happy with the way she lived and said it was time to have her back.
In the middle of all of this, know, that she is only a whisper away, she will always be your sweet Theresa, the one and only Theresa.
Thank you Lord, for blessing the Whitney’s with
Theresa, all these years, and may they share the good moments lived, her laugh, sweetness and love with one another, and when they go through difficult moments, remind them that you are embracing her and she is resting with you.
I will continue to pray and offer you my love and condolences.

I was a good friend of Theresa's while working at Stabilus. We had a lot of good times. I went with her a couple of times to Charleston to see her Mom and Dad and for a girls weekend. I will surely miss her.

Just shocked that she is gone. Always admired her. When we were in the throes of the great family fun going on, she was always laughing, never in trouble. It was great having someone slightly older to look up to. So sorry to everyone that knew her, loved her, and worked with her
