Theresa "Terry" Paoletti, née McGrath, age 64, of Brookhaven, PA, passed away peacefully on September 10, 2026, at Riddle Hospital.

Born and raised in New Jersey, Terry was the proud graduate of Haddon Heights High School. She devoted much of her life to caring for and giving to others. Terry was known for her kind and generous heart, always willing to lend a helping hand, offer support, or simply be there for someone in need. She found joy in making others feel loved, cared for, and never alone. Her compassion touched the lives of many, and her generosity will be remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing her.

Terry cherished the simple joys of life, especially spending time with her family. She was an excellent softball player and enjoyed bowling. She loved watching sports and cheering on her favorite teams. She also enjoyed watching Lifetime movies and soap operas, as well as playing computer and board games. Her greatest joy, however, was the time she shared with the people she loved most.

Terry was a devoted member of Our Lady of Charity Church.

Terry is preceded in death by her beloved husband, Lawrence Paoletti; her parents, Francis McGrath and Marie LaPlaca; and her dear siblings, Donna and Francis.

Terry is survived by her children, Cheryl, Lauren (Steven), Vanessa (Daniel), and Larry (Chelsea); her siblings, John (Sue), Diane, Debby (Joe), Jim, and Ruth (Mike); and her grandchildren, Christopher, Caleb, Corey, and Lorenzo.
