Theresa began her nursing career at the Wilkes-Barre VA Hospital. She continued her career at the Nesbitt Memorial Hospital until her retirement.

So very sad to hear of Terri’s passing. My sister Cindy and I went to nursing school with Terri many moons ago. Studying together, clinical together, going to Patty’s Sports Bar after clinical…all the fun times are remembered with her. She was such a joy to be around.
