Theresa Marie Nadeau-Nguyen passed away February 3, 2010. She was born to Emile L. and Adeline D. Marthaller Nadeau on September 7, 1958. Theresa met her husband Kim V. Nguyen on the Internet and received two degrees Information Systems and Finance at Montana Tech during the 1996-97 school year. She has withstood her father's death in 1976, maternal grandparents' deaths in 1997, and a heart attack in 2002, but she could not overcome her two-year fight with breast cancer. She will always be remembered as a loving mother, wife, daughter, sister, cousin, and friend by many. Throughout her battle, she has endured permanent flu-like symptoms, lost the use of her left arm, and had constant pain on the left side of her body. She was working full-time, and she did most of the house duties until 5 days before her death, yet she never complained. Theresa passed away painlessly in her sleep at 4:25am in her home with her husband, 11 year old son, mother, sister, and favorite cousin at her bedside.

A Funeral Mass will be Mon. 2/8/2010 at 2:00pm at Santiago de Compostela Catholic Church, Lake Forest, CA.
