Born in Antigonish, she was the daughter of the late Angus Allan and Christine (Gillis) MacDonald.

Theresa was a delivery driver for Silver Cleaners for over forty years. Rain, wind or snow could not stop her.

Her corned beef and cabbage was second to none. Theresa and Gordon loved their pets. Their rescue cat ‘Rascal’ will miss Theresa greatly. She had a very strong faith and was a longtime member of St. Ninian Parish.

She is survived by her husband Gordon; sisters in law: Robina Cusson, Isabel Drake and Sandra Kennedy as well as many nieces and nephews.

She was predeceased by six sisters and six brothers.
