THE CASEY FAMILY IS HONORED TO BE ASSISTING THE FAMILY OF THERESA PORTER
BETHLEHEM - Theresa A. Porter (Santucci), age 85 of Bethlehem formerly of Waterbury, passed away peacefully on November 13, 2021 at the Ludlow Rehabilitation Center in Fairfield after an extended illness. She was predeceased by her husband Frank W. Porter.
Theresa was born March 4th 1936 in Waterbury, CT, the daughter of the late Sabatino and Antoniette (Avaitabile) Santucci. Theresa spent many years working for SNET as a payroll clerk before her retirement. She was a devoted and loving mother and aunt with a deep affection for her nieces and nephews and loyal companions Molly and McGee. Theresa spent her free time playing scrabble, completing crossword puzzles and listening to "The 60's on 6 with Flash". She was a devoted Red Sox fan with a deep admiration for Jermey Remy. Theresa filled the kitchen with the smell of homemade Italian cookies which she gave to friends and family every Christmas season. She also enjoyed camping at Hammonasset State Park in her earlier years with Frank and her children.
Left to cherish her memory, are her three children; Brenda Jean McGrath and her husband, John of Bethlehem and Teresa Porter-D'Aversa and her husband, David of Shelton and Frank C. Porter and his wife, Dawn of Plymouth. She also leaves her grandson, William T. Campion III and his wife, Jennifer and a great grandson Miles Campion.
