Theresa M.
Daniell
Aug 14, 1943 — May 7, 2026
Theresa M. Daniell (Terry) was born on August 13, 1943 to James and Kathleen Driscoll in Brooklyn, New York. She married the love of her life, Alexander Daniell, and together they raised four children. During the eighties Terry moved with her family to Little Falls, New York where she and her husband opened and successfully ran a bar. She was also a bus driver for the Little Falls Central School District and was known as everyone's favorite bus driver.
Terry was a beloved member of the community. She was a proud member of The Red Hat
Society and Order of the Eastern Star. Every third Friday of the month the ladies of the Red Hat Society met for lunch. She loved shopping for a new hat or blouse to mark the occasion. She looked forward to spending time with friends, sharing stories, and just enjoying life's adventures. Terry's youngest granddaughter, Andy-Lynn would often accompany her to these luncheons, becoming an honorary member, affectionately known as Terry's "little pinky."
There is no doubt that Terry was the heart of her family-generous, lovmg, strong-willed, resilient, outgoing and wonderfully sassy. Her family meant everything to her and she made sure everyone around her felt welcomed, cared for, and loved. She was always waiting with open arms and warm hugs, especially for her granddaughters. She was happiest spending time creating special memories filled with laughter, conversation, and love. Whether spending weekends going to yard sales or watching Hocus Pocus with her granddaughters Molly and Andy-Lynn, taking adventurous bus trips around the country with her granddaughter Amanda, or dancing most of the night at Amanda's wedding saymg "what's up baby," Terry left an indelible mark on her loved ones.
Terry was sadly taken from her family along with her daughter Kelly Ann Daniell and was predeceased by her parents, her loving husband, Alexander Daniell, and her beloved brother Michael Driscoll. She is survived by her two sons and daughter, her son-in-law TJ Podlas, granddaughters Amanda Harris (Andrew), Molly Podlas, Andy-Lynn Podlas, her grandson Gavin Daniell, several other grandchildren, great grandchildren, and many friends. Terry will be fondly remembered for her quick wit, her caring heart, her fierce love for family, and the joy she brought to others. Her legacy lives on through her children, grandchildren, family, and all who were fortunate enough to know her. Terry will forever remain in our hearts.
