She was also preceded in death by her son, David Mulder; two sisters: Anna Wade and Pat O'Brien; brother: Donald Binder; and two sisters-in-law: Annie Haling and Mary Jane McClellan.
A Funeral Mass will be held at 11:00 am on Thursday, January 10, 2013, at St. Patrick Catholic Church, 324 Nicolet Blvd., Menasha, with Fr. Larry Abler officiating.

Thinking of you Today...
If I could, I would tell you how much I loved you and missed you and bring you a big bouquet of yellow roses.
Mom, you loved all the flowers, and all the colorful song birds. I remember sitting on the patio with you, and how you enjoyed the song birds. These sweet memories I will forever cherish. Just all the good things about you. So today I let your sweet spirt chase away any bitterness, sadness or sorrowfulness. Bring to me only sweet memories of all the good things about you.

Until we meet again in Heaven.

I miss you so much,
your laugh, your smile, your touch.
You always brightened my days
with all the smiles you sent my way.
I need you as my angel
to always be at my side.
I need you as my angel
to give me peace of mind.
I like to think your near to me
to know that you are there.
Even though I can not see you,
I feel that you are near.
Please do not forget me mom,
for you are always in my heart,
my thoughts and prayers.
I love you.

Deborah

My Mother kept a garden,
a garden of the heart,
She planted all the good things
that gave my life it's start.
She turned me to the sunshine
and encouraged me to dream,
Fostering and nurturing
the seeds of self-esteem...
And when the winds and rain came,
she protected me enough-
But not too much because she knew
I'd need to stand up strong and tough.
Her constant good example
always taught me right from wrong-
Markers for my pathway
that will last a lifetime long.
I am my Mother's garden.
I am her legacy-
And I hope today she feels the love
reflected back from me...

My sweet sister-in-law Theresa never said a bad word about anyone, she always saw the good in that person. She had patience that very few of us have. She had hugs for everyone that made you feel special. She was young in heart and loved the Lord deeply. She had time to take us to the park and tell us stories when ever we stayed with her and Rich in the summer time. I will miss her at the family reunion and every day. I pray for peace and strength for Richard and family. Sharon Mulder Chapman

Theresa was the kindest woman I have ever known. In all the years I've known her, I never heard her, even once, express anything negative about any-one. She will be greatly missed and should be an inspiration to us all on how to treat others.

I dedicate this to a very special Aunt of mine.

My aunt is to me the greatest person in this world,
one of a kind and one in a million.

She has the biggest heart with the most caring touch,
which she shares with so many of us.

Her soul is made of pure love,
yet she's worth way more than gold.

In my eyes, she will always be,
the most beautiful person to walk the earth.

There is no one that compares to her,
no one that even comes close.

The memories I will forever cherish,
for they are priceless.

For all she has done, I will forever be thankful,
and my love for her only grows more with each day that passes.

On a high pedestal is where I hold her,
for I admire her so much more than she knows.

Having her apart of my life is the greatest gift of all,
being in her presence is god's blessing to me.

Looking deep inside of her,
I see that strong, wise, loving woman I hope to become.

Giving, helpful, loving, caring, and kind,
is what defines her.

She is not only my favorite Aunt but she is my role model,
and to be like her, would be my only wish.

Gail Hickey

Such a sweet and loving women. I am better for knowing her and am thankful she touched my life. Surely she is in God's embrace. I pray her family is comforted by their memories of her kindness, smile and laugh.
