NORTH VASSALBORO – Theresa A. (LaPierre) Reny, 70, of North Vassalboro passed away peacefully with her daughter, Crystal, and her sister, Gloria, by her side on Friday, April 15, 2022, after her short but strong battle with cancer. She was born in Waterville, Maine on March 10, 1952, the youngest daughter of Leodore and Doris LaPierre.Theresa graduated from Waterville High School in 1970. She worked at Reny’s Market on North Street where she met her husband, Patrick, and then worked at First National Grocery Store in Waterville. She became a full time teller, which she did for the majority of her life. She started out at People’s Heritage Bank, went to St. Francis de Sales Federal Credit Union (Greater Waterville Area Federal Credit Union), and ended at KV Federal Credit Union (Health First Federal Credit Union). In between her full time job as a teller, she also worked part time at Rich’s Department Store, McDonald’s, and Marden’s. She was a hard worker and loved to be busy. She realized she wasn’t quite ready for retirement and worked part time at Walgreen’s in Winslow. Theresa was predeceased by her husband of 41 years, Patrick Reny. She was also predeceased by her parents, Doris and Leodore LaPierre, brothers Ronald LaPierre, Louis LaPierre, and Francis LaPierre, and sisters Doreen Crain and Marie LaPierre. Theresa is survived by her daughter Crystal and her husband Robie as well as their two children, her only two grandchildren, Harly and Tucker, all of Winslow. She is also survived by her sister Gloria Blanchet of Waterville, special nephew Scott LaPierre of Albion, and many, many other family members and friends.If you knew Theresa at all, you knew that her daughter Crystal, son-in-law Robie, and two grandchildren, Harly and Tucker, were what made her smile from ear to ear. She took every chance she could to talk about her family, how proud she was of her family, her daughter being a teacher, her son in law having his own business and being the son that her and her husband never had, and if within her ability, she never missed a thing of her two grandchildren from school functions to extracurricular activities. She sat on more soccer fields, football fields, basketball courts, softball fields, and baseball fields then almost anyone. You could see her smiling and hear her cheering as she watched them play. In her final days, knowing that Harly was inducted into the MMTC National Honor Society and that Tucker had started driver’s ed made her so proud and happy. She absolutely loved to be known and referred to as Harly and Tucker’s Nana.She was an avid game show watcher and there wasn’t a game show that she didn’t enjoy. She loved her scratch tickets and enjoyed getting some each weekend to pass the time. A special thank you goes out to Dr. Purvey and her team from the Harold Alfond Center for Cancer Care in Augusta, Dr. Belanger and his team from MaineGeneral Urology in Augusta, and the staff in the CCU unit at the Alfond Center for Health in Augusta.
