Obituary of Theresa DeStevens

Theresa DeStevens (93) was reunited with Nicholas DeStevens, her beloved husband of 70 years, and her sons James DeStevens and Rick DeStefano at the heavenly gates on July 4, 2024. Theresa was born to Nicholas and Mary Castiglia, proud American citizens from Palermo, Sicily. Theresa was the last of the great Castiglia line, predeceased by her 10 siblings- Jane, Tony, Frank, Marion, Lucy, Joe, Edna, Rosalie, Betty and James. Theresa was an avid reader of all genres, but absolutely loved a great mystery book. She enjoyed playing cards and completing difficult jigsaw puzzles. She was a proud fan of Syracuse Basketball (Go Orange!) but her most favorite pastime of all was to spend time with her loving family. Left to treasure her in memory, is her daughter, Deborah DeStefano; her son, Kevin DeStefano; grandchildren, Te-ana (David Desgrosiellier) Baldwin, James (Misty) Baldwin, Jeremy (Christa) Baldwin, Nicole (Charles) David, Devin DeStevens, Courtney DeStefano and Michael McCrobie 18 great grandchildren and one great-great grandchild. She will be honored with a private service, per her wishes. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in her name to the Alzheimer’s Association, Central New York Chapter, 5015 Campuswood Drive, Suite 102, East Syracuse, NY 13057.
