In loving memory of
Teresa Simonetti
May 12, 1926 - April 11, 2013
Finally went to the arms of Jesus on April 11, 2013, after a long courageous battle. Teresa leaves behind her loving and devoted husband of 64 years, Arnaldo; children, Jean (Joseph) Ricciuto, Victoria (James) Maley, Victor Simonetti, Mary Grace (Philip) Callipare; grandchildren, Stacy (Donald) DeRooy, Michael (Amanda) Maley, Kristine (Christopher) Wilson, Jayme (Jamison) Hines, Phillip, Casandra and Joseph Callipare, Jessica and Maria Teresa Simonetti; 10 great-grandchildren; brothers and sisters, Suora Louisa Teresa (Italy), Nina (Antonio) Ciccarelli (Italy), Benito (Derna) Taccone (Italy), Pasquale (Antonina) Taccone (Mississauga, ON); many nieces and nephews in Canada and Italy. The family wishes to express their gratitude to the Edna Tina Wilson Living Center, for their care and compassion for over 16 years.
Those wishing may contribute to Edna Tina Wilson Living Center, 700 Island Cottage Rd, Rochester, NY 14612 in Teresa's memory.
Teresa was born into a humble and loving family in Italy. The family worked hard to support one another spending time working on the family farm. In 1953 she moved to the United States in search of opportunity like so many others who immigrated to the US.
Her work ethic and tenacity as a seamstress was rewarded with jobs at Bonds and Hickey Freeman. After retiring from the clothing industry Teresa joined Eastman Kodak Company and she worked assembling The Kodak Disk Cameras.
Teresa was: loving, giving, caring, dedicated, selfless, forgiving and reliable person. She never seemed to stop moving. She was always on the go doing for others.
She enjoyed cooking, baking, sewing, crocheting and knitting. Her family and friends have all enjoyed her effort in the kitchen and most have articles of clothing made by Teresa's loving hands.
Teresa enjoyed spending time with her family and friends at Sunday Dinner the Holidays. She especially enjoyed Easter Sunday and Christmas.
Teresa will be sadly missed by those who love her. Her identity to family, faith, traditional values and her friends will long live on.
