Afterwards, she enrolled at University of Northwestern in St. Paul to finish her degree in psychology and also helped her husband, Ron, finish his degree at Bethel University in St. Paul.

She is survived by sisters, Donna (Mel) Rutlin, and Karen (Mark) Simmons; brothers, Paul Fudaly and David Fudaly; husband, Ron; and her sons, Timothy (Pravina), Jonathan and Samuel.

Many thanks to all her friends who prayed and helped, as well as the staff, nurses, and Dr. King at Minnesota Oncology in Fridley, who contributed to the laughter, joy, comfort and care that Theresa experienced.
