She was such a loving mom , grandmother and great grandmother known as GG Ma to them . The world will miss our special mother but heaven has gained a wonderful soul. Theresa loved walking for hours with her good friend Linda Webber of Farmington NH. She loved looking through antique shops to add to her collection of Carnival Glass, loved needlepoint and cooking, but most of all loved spending time with her family. She always had a big smile on her face when she saw the grandchildren and great grandchildren .
Theresa looked forward to her Saturday's with her daughter Lynn to shop and spend the day with, and trips to Maine with her daughter Dianna.
She married her high school sweetheart Leon of 57 years ,until his death in 2006. They married at the Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Lebanon NH where they made their home on West Street until they moved to Williamstown VT in 1961. When they retired, they moved to Gloucester VA, then realizing how much they missed their family, moved back to NH.
She was loved so much and will be missed dearly, but she is at peace . She has gained her wings and is with her dear husband at last, the late Leon R. Adams, Sr.

And just at the moment when someone at my side says: "There , she is gone !" There are other eyes watching
her coming, and other voices ready to take up the glad shout: " Here she comes!"
