Theresa Alice Rait (Carney), age 73, passed away peacefully on September 29. Family and faith were everything to Theresa. Married to Don for 52 years, this joy-filled couple were a model of love to their five children Chris married to Elana Post, Jacquelyn married to Dave Spence, Elizabeth married to Peter Foster, Patrick married to Falyn Winter, and Matthew married to Katlin Duffy. Grandchildren Mae, Isabel, Joseph, Caitlin, Jessica, Maggie, Nolan, Jonah, and her angels.
Theresa was always positive and had a way of bringing out the best in the people around her. This, matched with her gentle spirit, made her such a great mother and teacher. Theresa taught at St James School in Colgan for over 30 years. Music and song carried her through life, and with her husband, Theresa led the music ministry at St. James Church for 48 years.
Theresa made the choice in her life to always focus on positivity and gratitude even when life threw a curveball. In Theresa’s honour, we ask you to make such a choice today.
