Mary Theresa (nee Mc Nulty), age 79, of Rehoboth Beach, DE, passed away on Monday, April 23, 2007 at home with her husband Joe and family at her side. Theresa was born in Philadelphia, daughter of the late Joseph and Margaret McNulty. Sister of the late Anne, Thomas, John and Joan.
Beloved wife of Joseph of 56 yrs.

Grandmother of 18 Grandchildren & a great Grandson. Also, will be missed by many nieces & nephews.
Theresa (Mom & Nana) was a woman full of life and energy. Accomplishments far too many to list, however, the most important of those was the raising of her 6 children (3 boys & 3 girls) with her husband and best friend Joe (Joey, Dad, Pop-Pop). They have followed in her footsteps and have become wonderful people and parents. Nana was always excited to have the grandchildren around. Nana always found time to share her love for the Arts with the grandchildren. Those moments will never be forgotten. Theresa was very active in the local community, Senior Art class, member of the Rehoboth Beach YMCA (aerobic mermaids), volunteer at New Life Thrift Store, and St. Edmond's Catholic Church activities.
