Obituary of Theresa G. Diemer

Born in Schenectady, NY to Lee and Gertrude (Poulin) Simonds, she graduated from Nott Terrace High School. As a young woman, she met her late husband, Frederick P. Diemer while ice skating in Central Park.

Together they raised their family, which grew tremendously over the years. Being 103 years old, Theresa witnessed over a century of life. She was a proud grandmother and watching her family grow was the light of her life. 

Theresa was a supportive figure to the entire family who never missed a sporting event for children, grand-children and great grand-children. She enjoyed gardening, entertaining for the holidays, Sunday gatherings and will forever be remembered as an excellent baker.
