Theresa C. Mollo

Theresa “Tree” Mollo, 76, of Bangor, PA, passed away peacefully, surrounded by her family, in LVH Muhlenberg Hospital, on Sunday evening, December 22, 2024. Theresa was born in Easton, PA in 1948 to her parents, Vincent F. Angelini and Carmella “Millie” Bozzelli, and her predeceased sister, Rosalyn A. Mugavero, all of Roseto, PA. She graduated from Pius X High School in 1966, receiving the Senior Class Business Award. She then went on to work for the Berkheimer Tax Administration as a clerk for many years. In 1971, she married her loving husband and serviceman, David N. Mollo also from Roseto, and they have been married for fifty-three years since, being lucky enough to outlast COVID lockdowns and celebrate their Golden Anniversary with friends in 2021. After the birth of their son Nicholas, Theresa, wanting to spend more time with her family, worked as a seamstress for the Perfect Shirt Company for many more years. She later opted for another career change, when she shifted to work as a Teller and ultimately an Assistant Branch Manager for the Merchants National Bank of Bangor, where she met and connected with so many local residents over her years of service with the bank, until she retired in 2019. In her spare time, Theresa gave herself, her time, and her spirit to several local charity organizations. She was one of the founding members of the Slate Belt Pregnancy Crisis Center, and took on the role of Baby Needs Inventory Manager for the group. For many years, she has also helped make Christmas better for local children as a member of the local SBCC Santa’s Elves organization. She was a devout Catholic and a life member of the Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church in Roseto, PA. Theresa is survived by her husband David, son Nicholas, daughter-in-law Valerie, granddaughter Tanya of Wilmington, MA, and special rescue cat Sassy. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Friday, December 27, 2024 at 11:00am in Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church, located at Third and Garibaldi Avenues, Roseto, PA. A viewing for family and friends will be held on Thursday, December 26, from 6 until 8pm, and finally on Friday morning from 9:30 until 10:30am at the Fiore Funeral Home, 230 Market Street, Bangor.
