Today we’re remembering the life of Theresa Anne Church, of Bradford. Born in Alaska, she lived most of her life in Ashaway. 

Ms. Church worked for many years as a food server at Amanda’s Pantry for Davis Standard. She also previously worked at Foxwoods Resort Casino. Ms. Church was a kind-hearted and generous soul who would do anything for her friends and family. She also had a great love for animals, travel, and swimming.

She is survived by her brother, her niece, and nephew. She is also survived by her companion, Phil Baril, many loving cousins and friends, and her beloved dog Rosie.

Thank you for taking a moment with us today to remember and celebrate Theresa’s life.
