Theresa Marie Damico, 90 of Monongah, passed away Sunday February 14, 2016 of natural causes. Theresa was born December 30, 1926, in Fairmont, to the late John and Mary Bluemetto Bonfantino. In addition to her parents she was preceded in death by her brothers Alfred Bonfantino and John Bonfantino, II and her nephew John Bonfantino, III.

Theresa was a graduate of Fairmont Senior High School and would eventually work for  more than 30  years in the Meat Department of Thorofare Market on Country Club Road. While at Thorofare she became active with the United Food and Commercial Workers Union as a steward and organizer, often taking a leave of absence from the store to help with Union organization campaigns.

Nana, as her grandkids and great-grandkids called her, was an avid sports fan and loved watching her Mountaineers and Steelers. For years, she also enjoyed local bingo games often attending with close friends. Above all, she cherished her time with her loving daughter and son-in-law, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
