Worcester - Theresa (Courtemanche) Hamilton, 74, lost her valiant fight with cancer, surrounded by family in her home, on May 1, 2015. Theresa spent most of her adult life in Winchendon, MA, raising her children and working at New Hampshire Ball Bearing in Peterborough, NH, until moving to Worcester in 2009 with her daughter, where she enjoyed spending time with her family on the deck or in the garden of her yard.
