Obituary
Theresa Bilak was proud of her Irish heritage and the fact that she was born in Brooklyn, N.Y.
She attended Immaculata High School in Manhattan. Upon graduation, she worked for a Canadian Brokerage firm on Wall Street as Executive Assistant to the President of the firm.
After marriage, she and her husband Joe settled in the Catskills, about 100 miles north of N.Y.C.
It took a bit for her to get used to the groundhogs, racoons and occasional horses. Theresa applied for a job at IBM. In the end, retirement came after 17 years. Her last job was Administrative Assistant to the Regional Branch Manager. "Retirement" provided her the opportunity to focus on building the franchise she and Joe purchased in Kingston, N.Y.
Upon selling the franchise, real retirement came thanks to friends, who found Plantation Bay.
Making new friends was easy thanks to the delivery of people and golf. She was Past President of the Ladies Niners, and got involved with fundraising for the Humane Society. She and the Niners raised thousands of dollars, even while squeeking in the two holes in one.
