A beautiful lady, inside and out! She will be missed by many, including myself.
Theresa and her sister Yvonne would come out to California and go to the beach with my mother Louise (Kerbrat) McNamara. I was just a kid at the time, but I remember them as being happy-go-lucky and having a blast.
I am Aline Kerbrat Seydoux’s youngest.
I remember when I was a child the times that Theresa and Yvonne came to California to visit. May she rest in peace. My prayers are with her family.
Rest in peace, Theresa, I remember you from when I was a very young age, For many years, I could not understand why we were not cousins if some of my cousins were your cousins. (One of my maternal aunts was married to your paternal uncle. Mystery solved-no relation, just friends.)
I am a cousin through my mother, Aline Kerbrat, daughter of Frank and Ozanna. Theresa would come visit us in Los Angeles with her sister Yvonne in summer, in the late 50’s early 60’s . What fun Theresa was- full of laughter. God bless you.
