Therese Marie Dowicz, 58, of Lincoln Park, NJ passed away peacefully on January 16, 2014. The oldest of eight children, Therese was born in New York City and spent her childhood in Jackson Heights, Queens. She attended St. Joan of Arc and Our Lady of Fatima Grammar Schools. In second grade, Therese was diagnosed with brain cancer. Despite multiple brain surgeries and procedures, Therese never lost faith in God's goodness and persevered. With the help of a private tutor, she graduated six months ahead of her class at Newtown High School. Therese liked to garden and attended art classes at St. John's University. She worked with charcoal, pastels and watercolors, often creating beautiful sunsets for her family members. For the last several years she resided at the Lincoln Park Renaissance Center.
She was predeceased by her parents, Zenon and Mary Elizabeth Dowicz of Tinton Falls. She is survived by her siblings, Celeste Miller, Stephen M. Dowicz, Christopher P. Dowicz, Karen Haas, Paul J. Dowicz, Michele Mandler, Andrew Z. Dowicz and their children.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations in Therese's memory to either of the following:
St. Joan of Arc School, 35-27 82nd Street, Jackson Heights, NY 11372, Attn.: Antoniette Balzano or Our Lady of Fatima School, 25-38 80th Street, Jackson Heights, NY 11370, Attn: Mrs. Zelic.
