Therese M. Jessup's Obituary
Therese M. Jessup (nee Kish), age 89, passed away on Saturday, October 27, 2018 at St. John Medical Center, Westlake, after a brief illness.
She was born on December 10, 1928 in Cleveland and has been a resident of North Ridgeville for the past 4 months, moving from North Olmsted and Parma. She was a member of St. Peter Parish in North Ridgeville and a past parishioner at St. Richard’s Church in North Olmsted. Therese worked as a legal secretary for Calfee, Halter and Griswold, retiring after 30 plus years in 2007.
Therese never knew a stranger and loved the conversations with those she met.

In her free time, she loved to play bingo, and travel to Las Vegas, where she enjoyed the slot machines and video poker.
She is survived by her sons Michael (Anne Marie) and Tom Jessup; grandchildren David (Stephanie), Stephen (Amanda), Jennifer, Lauren, Ryan and Sarah Jessup; great grandchildren Mia Jessup, Gianna, Jaedin and Braylon Nelson, Zskyler Harden.
