Theresa R. (Morrette) (Nicolella) Moran (aka Nonny and Grandma Theresa ), 98 years young, passed away peacefully on April 15, 2014 at St. Peter's Hospice Inn. A resident of both Rotterdam and Scotia, Theresa retired from the General Electric Co. after over 30 years of service and later cleaned homes and offices until she was 81.
