September 30, 1934 - June 11, 2025

In loving memory ~

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Theresa Borm in June 2025, at the age of 90.

A long-time resident of Nelson, British Columbia, Theresa left home after finishing school to serve in the Royal Canadian Air Force. She later worked for many years with CUSO (Canadian University Service Overseas), dedicating herself to helping others across communities and borders.

Theresa eventually returned to Nelson to care for her mother, a testament to her strong sense of family and duty. She continued her life of service close to home, working with the Salvation Army, the local food bank, and the toy run as a bookkeeper—work she took great pride in. She also spent time working at Johnny's Bakery, in various retail positions at the local mall, and served as a commissioner.

Theresa was well known in the community for her deep Catholic faith and active involvement in the church during her younger years. She was respected and admired for her compassion, integrity, and quiet strength. Her presence left a lasting impact on those around her, and she will be greatly missed.

Theresa is survived by her sons: Greg Ross of Winnipeg, Randy Ross of Nelson, and Stewart Ross of Ottawa. She also leaves behind many friends and acquaintances who were touched by her kindness over the years.

A funeral service will be held in the Catholic section of the Nelson Park Memorial Cemetery on July 10 at 12:00 noon. All who knew her are warmly welcome to attend and help celebrate her life.
