In Loving Memory of Theresa Reilly Virga
January 14, 1930 – May 19, 2025
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and aunt, Terry, who departed this life peacefully on May 19, 2025.
She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Sam; her cherished children, Anthony, Arleen, and Rosario; and her dear brothers, Frank, Jack, and George. While her loss leaves a deep void, we take comfort in knowing she is reunited with them in eternal peace.
She is survived by her devoted daughter, Theresa, and her husband, Michael Cleary; and her loving son, John, and his wife, Arlene Virga. Her greatest joy came from her family, and she leaves behind a legacy of love through her grandchildren: Theresa Perkin (Tony), Nicole Cleary, AJ Virga (Caroline), Andrew Virga (Rachel), Michael Virga (Ben), Stephen O’Neill (Kate), Daniel O’Neill, Jamie O’Neill (Claire), and Shayna Cole (Mike). She was a proud great-grandmother to Elizabeth, William, Nicolas, Nathan, Henry, Vivian, and Casey. Each of them brought a special light into her life.
She is also survived by her sister-in-law, Antoinette, and many beloved nieces and nephews, whose lives she touched with warmth, laughter, and unwavering love.
Terry also leaves behind many dear friends and extended family, each of whom held a special place in her heart. Some have preceded her in death, and others remain to cherish her memory. She treasured lifelong bonds, old friends who shared her history, new friends who brought fresh light, and extended family who felt like her own. Their companionship, laughter, and steady presence were a constant source of joy. Her friendships were a beautiful reflection of the warmth, loyalty, and kindness she gave so freely to others.
Terry will be remembered for her boundless generosity, kindness, humor, feistiness, and deep devotion to her family. She filled every room with laughter, her kitchen was always open, and her love was a steady source of comfort to all who knew her.
She leaves behind a family bound together by her enduring spirit, countless memories, and the values she instilled in each generation.
She was, and always will be, the world’s best Grammy.
She will be missed dearly, loved always, and remembered forever.
In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made in memory of Theresa Virga to one of the following organizations that reflect her values and life:

• National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) – www.nami.org
