Theresa Josephine Senghas, 92, of Wellington, died Wednesday, June 7, 2023 under hospice care at the Elms, surrounded by her family. Born on December 7, 1930 to the late Caroline (nee Augustino) and Benedetto Farago, Theresa was a lifelong Wellington resident and graduated with the WHS Class of 1948. She was the proud matriarch of the family, as the oldest of the 12 siblings.

She worked as a legal secretary for attorney Wagner in Wellington and was a probate department clerk. Theresa also served as a notary public for many years. Theresa was a faithful member of St. Patrick Catholic Church and belonged to the Wellington Alumni Association. For 35 years, she was an Avon Cosmetics Rep.

A cheerleader in high school, Theresa also kept that spirit with her and spent her life cheering on family and friends in many of Wellington's Athletic Clubs. Theresa was proud of the fact that there have been well over 100 family members who have graduated from Wellington High School. She enjoyed crossword puzzles in her later years.

She is survived by her children, Ed (Paula) Senghas, Mitch (Marla) Senghas and Cindi (Skip) Whitney, all of Wellington; grandchildren, Chad Senghas, Nick Senghas, Fred Senghas, Michelle Tully, Curtis Senghas, Rachel Howington, Ashley Mills, Colby Whitney and Tyler Whitney; 22 great grandchildren; siblings, Angie Brinker, Rose Barrett, Helen Dronsfield, Josie (Butch) Boone, Tony (Marty) Farago, Joe (Karen) Farago and Jim Farago, all of Wellington; and sister-in-law Paulette Farago.

Senghas III, brothers, Carl and Bill Farago and sisters, Mary Baker and Bea Bowman; and half sister Caroline Mancuso, of S'Agatha, Sicily.
