WORCESTER - Theresa (Kerrigan) Shusas, 67, a life-long resident of Worcester, died at home on Tuesday, September 23, 2014. Her husband of 45 years, Gerald Shusas, predeceased her in September of 2013. Born in Worcester, Theresa was the daughter of Irish immigrants, James B. and Mary A. (Baynes) Kerrigan.
She graduated from Commerce High School in 1965 and was the secretary of the Math and Computer Science Department at Clark University for 43 years.

She cherished her annual vacations to Maine and Cape Cod with her friends and family, along with her “girls weekends.” Her great sense of humor and Irish wit will be sorely missed.

Shusas of Niskayuna, NY; her sister, Mary Lizotte and her husband, Bernard of Buckeye, Arizona; two brothers-in-law, Paul T.
