Therese Naumann passed away unexpectedly on May 25,2025, at the age of 94. She was born in 1931 in Toledo, the second daughter of Martin and Irene (O’Keefe) Carroll. Therese was very proud of her Irish heritage and the Irish prayer could always be found on display in her home. Therese married William (Bill) Naumann and the two enjoyed 67 years together prior to his passing in 2018. Therese enjoyed raising her three children and then returned to the workforce in 1969. She was lovingly referred to as “Betty Crocker” by family and friends during her 24 year career in quality control at General Mills.
Therese was a faithful member of Little Flower church for 70 years. She volunteered at both the church and school in her younger years, even serving as the gym teacher. Therese enjoyed vacationing with her family and traveling throughout the country. In retirement, road trips, family reunions, weddings, parties and weekends at Deep Lake. She was not the trip planner but was the first to have her bags packed when the call came to go!!
Therese was the “Hostess with the Mostest” decorating for every holiday and welcoming all to her home. Therese enjoyed dancing at every celebration, cheering on the Notre Dame “fighting Irish” and when at home was an avid reader, making good use of her library card. She enjoyed gardening and there was always an open invitation to her backyard pool.
Therese attributed her health and longevity to faith, family, friends AND a glass of red wine or a margarita as well as Wildwood Health Club. Therese brought a smile and sparkle into the lives of all who knew her, and she will be missed forever! She cherished the joyful fun times both small and large and the wonderful family and friends who made them happen.
Therese will be greatly missed by her daughter Carroll (Jim) Nunemaker and Shannon (Rob) Congdon. Her 4 granddaughters Kelly Nunemaker, Courtney (Brett Poulos) Congdon, Caitlin (Matt) Mozzoni and Carli Congdon. And 4 great grandchildren, Harper and Hudson Poulos and Mickey and Mack Mozzoni and her sister-in-law Nancy Barcelona. Therese was a favorite Aunt to all nieces and nephews because she always felt “We Are Family”. She was preceded in death by her parents, her sister Patsy Imber, son Jimmy Naumann and husband Bill.
