She was involved in the lives of her children and encouraged them in every aspect of their lives. Theresa enjoyed watching the children and grandchildren in their sports, music, and other school activities.

Norman and Theresa always had an open home and the gift of hospitality. There are many other 'children' that called her Mom and Grandma. She opened her home and her heart to Edie (Megert) Walters (Jim), and Gary He & Jodie Wang along with their children.
