BETHEL, CT — Theresa Crupi, age 96, of Bethel, died Sept, 30, 2023. She is survived by her two daughters, Lorraine (Art) Schrameck, and Linda (Seymour) Pond; her four grandsons and their wives, Brian (Lindsay Darling), Daniel (Maggie), Matthew (Brooke), Sam (Jenny), and her nine great-grandchildren, who brought her great joy right up to the end of her life. Terry loved her family, and her eyes always lit up when she was around them.

She worked as a dental assistant and receptionist for over 28 years before retiring in 1989. Terry enjoyed retirement and having the free time to do the things she loved. Terry was an avid reader and also loved to travel, go to the casino, play Mahjong, and knit. In her younger days, she enjoyed ballroom dancing and performed with her cousin Peter many times. Terry had many friends and enjoyed the senior center, the ladies' investment club, and having friends over for game night.

Terry was predeceased by her brother John DiDio in 1992, and his wife, Angie in 2023, her parents, Agnes DiDio in 1990, and Louis in 1971. Terry was born in Manhattan and moved to the Bronx with her family as a young girl. She raised her two daughters there and moved to Mt. Kisco in the mid-seventies.

Terry spent the last seventeen years in Bethel, the last five of which were living with Lorraine and Art in their home before going to Bethel Health Care this August when her dementia worsened. We will forever remember Terry's kindness, positive outlook, and love of family and friends.
There are no calling hours.

A private interment will be held at a later date at Gate of Heaven Cemetery in Hawthorne, NY.
