Theresa Guglielmo's Obituary
Theresa Guglielmo had an effervescent smile and personality that made you immediately like her and want her to be your friend. When she walked into a room her beauty and golden hair were so striking that you had to look at her not once but twice. Theresa was born November 28th, 1946 in the Bronx New York City to Theresa and Joseph Recupero. She had two older brothers Phil and Alphonse (Chippy). They were a very loving family and were very close to her many aunts, uncles and many cousins. Theresa was a gifted hair stylist and spent several years in that profession which she enjoyed immensely. Also, she was a creative crafts person and would create beautiful floral arrangements for any type of design you desired. She had a natural artistic instinct to select the right painting, floral arrangement or drapery that would complement your room. If you were a friend of Theresa you knew that she loved shopping for clothing, shoes jewelry etc. But not just clothing it was brand named articles. She knew where and when there was a sale and the best stores to get the best deals. She would tell you, Come with me and I'll find what you want and at the best price.
