Gifts & Memorial Donations



Theresa Elizabeth Mahoney (nee Culhane), 71, of Hendersonville NC passed away on Sunday, April 5, 2020 after a brave struggle with cancer. Theresa was born and raised in New York and spent 28 years living in Belgium and London. She loved her life in Europe and never stopped being grateful for the many friends she made there. Theresa touched many people with her kindness, love and genuine interest in their lives. She was for many children “the fairy Godmother that every child could ever want”. Theresa’s enthusiasm, energy, curiosity and love inspired us. Theresa showed us what we could be, how we could give and what a well-lived life is supposed to be; Theresa made the world a better place.

Theresa is survived by her spouse, Tommy “Honey” of 51years; theirs was a love story with no end. Theresa had two sons whom she loved dearly, Patrick and Brian. As well one grandchild, Elise, whom she adored and wished she could have seen grow into adulthood.

No services are planned at this time and a memorial service will be held at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, please make donations to Four Seasons Hospice Foundation.
