She was preceded in death by an infant son, her brother Frank Pollice, and a sister Josephine Vukovich.

Besides her husband, Anthony A.

Theodora was a homemaker and she loved to bake. Her greatest joy was spending time with her family. Those closest to "Theo" knew her as an incredibly strong, loyal, and generous woman. Her home was always open to family and friends, and she was always ready to give them a home-cooked meal. She would go out of her way to help anyone in need.

Theodora was a life-long member of St. Patrick Church in Hubbard where she volunteered at the church and at the school.

There will be funeral services Tuesday, 9:30 AM at the Kelley-Robb Funeral Home and at 10:00 AM at St. Patrick Church.
