Theresa M. Smith, 105, Minneapolis, formerly of Waterford, died July 29, 2013, after waiting patiently for 51 years to be reunited with her beloved and loving husband, Orrin L. Smith, Sr.
From the moment that she lost Orrin, Sr. in April 1962, she devoted herself to giving care to many people who were in need of help in any way. She also volunteered at Burlington Hospital in any way they could use her services. Theresa continued her volunteer work until age 92 reluctantly forced her to retire.
Survivors include her son, Orrin L. (Jean Wolfenden) Smith, Jr.; daughter, Joyce Hoppe; grandchildren, Gerald (Susy) Smith, Edward, Timothy (Judy) Smith, Robert (Claire) Smith, Mary Jo (Ron) Friedrich, James (Diane) Hoppe, Jeff (Dawn) Hoppe, Juliann, Jay, Jason (Christina) Hoppe; nine great- and step-great-grandchildren; two step-great-great-grandchildren and more dear friends than can be counted.
Mass of Christian Burial was celebrated Aug. 2, at St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church, Waterford. Burial was in St. Thomas Cemetery. Services professionally conducted by Mealy Funeral Home, Waterford.

I remember Teresa well. She was a great lady and has certainly seen the face of God. Blessings on the family that is left behind.
