Theresa was the last living grandparent of her eight grandchildren, Bo Garside and wife Lori, Tim Lord and wife Jen, Laura Lord Bower and husband Adam, Jessica Turcotte and fiancé Ryan Grimes, Joshua Turcotte, Roger Lapointe, Ethan Warren and wife Jess and Andrew Lapointe and wife Alexandria.

Theresa was blessed with six great-grandchildren, Selena Garside, Alex Bower, Hannah Lord, Josephine Turcotte, Luke Lord and Callum Grimes. Theresa also leaves behind her faithful pets Oliver, Mildred and Edna.
