Passed peacefully away at Hillcrest Estates, Mount Pearl,
Theresa Mary Dray, age 94 years. Formerly of Little Bona,
Little Paradise and Dunville, Placentia Bay.
Theresa was the last of her siblings, children of James J.
and Margaret (Brennan) Dray. Predeceased by parents,
brothers Michael (Elizabeth deceased), (Ethel deceased), and Patrick;
sisters Elizabeth Hartley (Edward deceased), Mary French (William
deceased), and Margaret Drake (Robert
deceased).
Leaving to mourn many nieces, nephews and cousins, also other
relatives and friends.
Theresa was a very independent lady who was the mainstay in
the care of her father and younger brother. She supported
the family by her knitting and quilt making and being a very frugal
homemaker. Many a home in Dunville can boast of having one
of her many quilts. Her faith in God was
unparalleled. May she rest
peacefully now with Him.
A special thank you to the staff of Hillcrest Estates,
especially Carol Ann Greenslade, for their nearly fourteen years of
care to Theresa and previously to three of her
siblings.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to a charity of
one's choice in memory of Theresa.
