It is with extreme sadness that we announce the passing of Theressa on February 26, 2025.

She is the beloved daughter of the late Modesto M. Mendoza and is survived by her mother Luz V. Mendoza and her daughter Alyssa Mendoza. She will be deeply missed by her family, relatives, friends, and colleagues throughout Canada, the United States, and the Philippines.

God gave her the precious talent of the love of music as at age four she started playing the piano, with a Grade Eight certificate at the Toronto Conservatory of Music and several other trophies and medals. She was gifted at playing other musical instruments, being a member of the band in her early years to high school. She is also talented at folk dancing as she was a member of the Holy Family School dance troupe that performed at Roy Thompson Hall for the Sesquicentennial Celebration. She enjoyed singing karaoke and listening to all kinds of music. She was an avid fan of sports, attending concerts, and she loved to read books. She also loved to travel.

Throughout her life, Theressa was known for her kindness, generosity, devotion and her unparalleled love for her family, relatives, and friends. She had unwavering loyalty and dependability for everyone who crossed paths with her. She attended World Youth Day in Denver and she was an active volunteer with the Knights of Columbus San Lorenzo Ruiz Council #8809. She was instrumental in the success of her father when he was Grand Knight at San Lorenzo Ruiz Council.
