Theresa Semenuk, 86, of Newtown, PA, formerly of Baltimore, Maryland passed away peacefully at Chandler Hall Hospice on July 2, 2015. She was a woman of great resilience, surviving many medical illnesses and conditions, including breast and ovarian cancer.

Born February 23, 1929 to Vincent and Stella Zalewski in Baltimore, Maryland, she was the youngest of eight children. Theresa was a graduate of Sparrows Point High School in Sparrows Point, Maryland and was married to the late Michael Joseph Semenuk, the love of her life. Theresa and her husband raised three children, the late Sharon Ann Semenuk Booher, Michael D. Semenuk (Lynn Semenuk), and Tess Semenuk Glancey (Brian Glancey). Her greatest joy was her family.

She worked for many years for the City of Baltimore before joining her husband in running their business, Lenderking Metal Products.

After her husband passed, she moved to Newtown under the care of her daughter Tess and family, where she resided for nearly 15 years. She loved travel, real estate, hot fries, sweets, and Coca Cola. She was a no-nonsense woman, who told it like it was. She will be remembered for her generous heart and spirit.

Theresa served as a volunteer at St. Mary Medical Center for many years. She was also an avid reader, often reading a book per day. She passed her love of reading on to her children and many of her grandchildren.

Theresa is survived by her son Michael D. Semenuk (Lynn Semenuk), her devoted daughter Tess Semenuk Glancey (Brian Glancey), and grandchildren Michael Booher, Michael John Semenuk, Nicholas Semenuk, Alexis Booher Allen, Tessica Glancey, Tara Glancey, Lindsay Semenuk, and Erica Glancey.
