Born in Alder Point, C.B., she was the daughter of the late John and Julia (Arsenault) Devoe.
Theresa moved to Halifax from Scotch Lake in 1958, and worked at the Sears store until her retirement. She travelled back to her little home in Scotch Lake every summer since, and was anxiously waiting for her return this year. She was an energetic and social lady who was truly ahead of her time.

She was predeceased by her husband John Ambrose who was killed overseas during the Second World War; by an infant son, John David; by brothers, Jack, Edgar, Vincent, Augustus, Lawrence and sisters, Julie, Rita, Rose and Lena.
Visitation for Theresa will be 2 to 4 p.m. and 7 - 9 p.m. Sunday, in the W.J. Dooley Funeral Home, 107 Pleasant St., North Sydney.
