Elizabeth Teresa Monjannis

Aunt Tressie made holidays and birthdays special. She was generous with her gifts and her Easter baskets would just about put you in diabetic shock. On visits to her home you could expect a sandwich and piece of cake. Eating them wasn’t optional: the motto was don’t go there on a full stomach. There were always three cakes: one in the freezer, one on the table and last weeks in the trash. Her cookie trays would rival any bakery’s. Anything she ate would be rounded out by some Jersey tomatoes. She was especially partial to those from her garden. For as long as she could walk Teresa went to daily Mass and was active at St. Joseph’s Church.rnTeresa was the wife of the late Thomas and is survived by two sisters in law: Irene Rappa and Antonia Ordine, a brother in law, James Monjannis and many nieces and nephews from the Simonelli, Rappa and Ordine families. rnCome celebrate 92 generous years Friday from 6 to8 PM and Saturday 8:30 to 10 AM at Daley life Celebration Studio, Swedesboro.
