June 20, 1926 - May 4, 2022

Theresa M. Caffery, 95 of Toms River, NJ passed away at Rose Garden Nursing Home on May 4, 2022. Theresa was born in the community of Miscouche in Prince Edward Island, Canada to Cyrus and Catherine DesRoche. She is predeceased by her husband Francis and is survived by her sons, David and his wife Rose, and Paul and his wife Lesley. She is also survived by her loving grandchildren, Brian, Kevin, David, William and Stephen and her great grandchildren Emma, Oliver, Jax and Joseph. Theresa (Terry) had a love of life that she displayed in many ways. She was an avid reader who always had a novel in her hand and a few in waiting (hard cover books only!). Throughout her life, Terry loved to travel and when her husband Frank was alive, they would always be touring the US in their motorhome where they made many long-lasting friends. They spent winters in Florida and returned to her birthplace in Prince Edward Island, Canada every summer. Terry was deeply religious sending her two sons to Catholic grammar school where they followed in her footsteps. She loved spending time with her family and could always be seen on the sidelines cheering on her five grandsons playing sports when they were growing up. Terry also loved music and dancing and never missed an opportunity to drag Frank onto the dance floor. During the time her sons were in high school, she allowed their band to practice at her home and was their number one fan. She especially loved the holidays and being with family. Terry was a woman who lived life to the fullest and made the most of the 95 years that she and her family were blessed with by the Lord. Visitation will be on Wednesday, May 11, 2022 from 9:00 to 10:00AM there will be a funeral mass held at St Luke’s Church at 10:30AM and burial will follow at Ocean County Memorial Park.
