Obituary of Tressa Waters

Terry Waters (also known as Tressa) was born in Pennsylvania and was orphaned at an early age. She was raised by her Aunt Velma in Michigan, then moved to Connecticut to live with her sister, Helen. Terry earned her R.N. degree, and met the love of her life, Jim Waters. They married and had three children. As Jim was an Army officer, the family lived in many parts of the world. They settled in Trumbull, Connecticut, and Terry lived there for 50 years. During those years she blessed countless neighbors with homemade pies, cookies, and other delicious goodies. She was a pint-sized container of love, humor, and wisdom, and was loved by many. She was a devoted Christian and was an active member of the Nichol's United Methodist Church. Due to failing health, she moved into a wonderful care facility where she lived until her death. Terry's husband, Jim, preceded her in death, and she is survived by her children Kathleen Reed, James Waters, and Christine Wills.
