Theresa Florence Harrington was born December 5, 1924, on a farm in Bremer County, near Plainfield, the daughter of Florance Michael “F.M.” and Frances (Laube) Harrington. Theresa was baptized and confirmed at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Waverly and attended rural Plainfield country schools. In her youth, Theresa enjoyed roller-skating, dancing and reading books.
The family moved to their farm east of Nashua in 1944 and Theresa led an active life on the farm. She helped where ever she was needed, if it were field work, helping with the livestock or household chores. In her free time she loved flower and vegetable gardening.
She continued to live on the farm with her brother, Paul until moving into New Hampton Rehab and Healthcare in 2009.
Survivors include two sisters, Rosemary (Virgil) Zwanziger of Nashua and Alice Klassen of New Hampton; two brothers, Robert Harrington of Nashua and Paul Harrington of Ionia; and several nieces and nephews.
