All her life, among many other things, she was a great cook and baker, at her best when she was preparing, preserving, or cooking wild birds and game, seal, jams, jellies, baked goods, etc., preferably from our own natural food, when possible, prepared the traditional Newfoundland way. While this was true of her, she was also a gifted craftsperson, who was an excellent knitter, crocheter, mat hooker, and drew her own hooked mat designs. She had a good sense of humor. She was very knowledgeable about current world affairs and was able to hold a conversation easily with the best of them.

Our father was all of these things. A father, a grandfather, a brother, a son, a friend. Most of all, he was our Dad.

We are so sad that you had to leave us, but we will continue your legacy to love unconditionally and will never stop. We will never forget you. You gave up everything, so we could have everything.

It is with great sadness that the Alyward family announce the passing of Theresa Alyward at The Curtis Memorial Hospital in St. Anthony at the age of 80 years.

Theresa was born on Fishot Island June 10th 1942 to Mary Joe and Maurice Bromley. She married her sweetheart John Alyward in 1961. They had 8 children, 6 grandchildren and 8 great grandchildren.

Theresa learned from early on that life is what is what you make of it. Heartbreak and loss taught her to live life to the fullest and take nothing for granted. Hard work = Theresa. If there was work to be done it wouldn't be long until she had it completed. From raising a family, working for 30+ years in the fish plant, fishing, cleaning, laundry and tending to a house full of guests. She was happiest when she was busy and surrounded by family and friends.

Theresa was an avid berry picker and could be found on any bog or hill that she could get to. Often times, she had to retrace her steps in search of her or John's glasses!

Thursday night we knew just where to find Theresa. At the legion in her glee playing bingo with Madeline and her many friends. Sometimes she would win, but most times she lost. But no matter what, she enjoyed herself. If there was a party then Theresa was sure to be there! A wig, costume, hat and a dress would surely appear. Fun, family and foolishness always kept her young at heart and full of life.

She leaves to mourn her Husband, John Alyward; Children, Kevin (Rose), Agnes, Lorraine (Tony), Jim (Sheila); Grandchildren, Bradley (Krista), Quentin (Angie), Scott (Jennifer), Blair (Melissa), Erika (Alexander), Megan; Great Grandchildren, Abby, Paige, Zoey, Celeste, Everleigh, Adelynn, Reid, Gabriel; Siblings, Laura, Ed, Ida, Cyril (Alice), Anna (Patrick); In-laws, Madeline, Patrick (Anna), Wilfred (Anne), Gerald (Virtue), Gary, David (Lawney) as well as a large circle of extended family and friends.

Theresa is predeceased by her Parents, Maurice and Mary Joe; Children, Marguerite, Eric, Joy, Corrine; Siblings, Maurice, Francis, Ronald; In-laws: Theresa, Ignatious, Ann, Leo, Ray; Niece, Shirley.

The Alyward family would like to a special thank you to all who helped alleviate our sorrow. Your kindness and thoughtfulness will always be remembered. Many thanks from the Alyward Family.
