Theresa Pragliola

Theresa (Terri) Pragliola, 89, of Pennington, passed away peacefully at home on Wednesday June 11, 2025 with her family by her side.

Born in Trenton, Theresa was a resident of Pennington for 60 years.

 Theresa enjoyed a long career and retired as a Printing Supervisor at Princeton University after 40 years of service.

 She dedicated her life to her family, friends and good Italian food. Anyone who knew her would tell you if there was a family gathering or picnic, Theresa would prefer to host and do all the cooking herself. She especially looked forward to her family's annual Seven Fishes Christmas Eve dinner where she opened her home to nearly 40 people.

 In the summer months, Theresa often spent time at the family condo in Ocean City, MD where she enjoyed good laughs and more good food with many lifelong friends. Her grandsons will fondly remember how she always caught the biggest crab during the family's crabbing trips on their boat.

 Predeceased by her parents, Frank and Josephine (Riggi) Sapienza and her siblings, Santina Tedeschi, Jean Breese, Frank Sapienza, Gary Sapienza and Debra Costa. She is survived by her husband of 65 years, Anthony Pragliola; her daughter and son-in-law, Maria and Richard Gankiewicz; her brother Paul Sapienza and his wife Joanna; her most cherished two grandsons, Cody Gankiewicz and his wife Natalie; Kyle Gankiewicz; and her adorable great-granddaughter, Mollie. She also leaves behind many in-laws, nieces, nephews and special friends.

 Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated 10:00 AM Thursday, June 19, 2025 in St. George's Church, 1370 River Rd. Titusville, NJ 08560. Burial will follow in Our Lady of Lourdes Cemetery, Hamilton.
