Theresa M. Lane, age 83, of Millville passed away unexpectedly on Friday, October 28, 2022. Theresa was born in Brooklyn, NY to the late Thomas Carosella and Mildred Menieri Carosella. Theresa married Harold Edward “Chick “Lane on October 19, 1959. In the late 1960s the two moved to the Vineland area where they spent most of their lives. Theresa was a stay at home mom who enjoyed building forts with her kids and encouraged them all as they brought home every animal rescue they could find. She worked with her husband for a time at Newfield Cold Cuts and was involved in numerous community events. Moving to Cedarville in the early 90s, Theresa became a fierce animal advocate and for the next 35 years continued to give to that community. She enjoyed her trips to Atlantic City with Chick, crafting and doing puzzles. Her main focus later in life was doting on her grandchildren and great grandchildren. Theresa was such a kind, sweet and generous soul who cherished life and all people. She was preceded in death by her husband, Harold “Chick” Lane, her parents Mildred and Thomas Carosella.
