Theresa Angela Tomaro, age 90, of Monroe, Michigan, passed away peacefully on November 6, 2022 at ProMedica Monroe Regional Hospital.
Born November 7, 1931 in Monroe, Theresa was the daughter of the late Alfred and Rose (Cozzie) Sconocchia. Theresa attended Lincoln Elementary School in Monroe and was a 1949 graduate of Monroe High School.
On November 24, 1951 Theresa married her high school sweetheart and the love of her life, Albert "Iggy" Tomaro at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Monroe. Together they raised two children, son, Alan Anthony Tomaro and Terry Ann Elinski and spent almost 71 married years together.
In 1951 the couple moved to Glendale, Arizona and lived off base, near Luke Air Force Base, where Iggy was stationed. They returned in 1953 and have been residents of Monroe since that time.
Theresa was a lifelong and very active member of St. Joseph Catholic Church in Monroe, where she was baptized and confirmed. When St. Joseph Church closed, she became a member at St. John The Baptist Catholic Church. Theresa was a wonderful homemaker and an excellent cook who loved feeding everyone.
