[N.B.: In accordence with my liberal definition of what is a Jasper, I think if some one saw fit to mention his time at Manhattan College, then it must have been important to him. That makes him a Jasper to me. Besides isn't once of the corporal works of mercy to bury the dead? I'll commend him to our fellow alums for their prayers. Also if you read the obit, he was a fellow that demonstrated what qualities a Jasper should have. imho.]

Theresa M Gatarz, devoted to family, students

LEBANON — Theresa M Gatarz, 50, of Lebanon died Thursday (April 19, 2007) at Presbyterian Hospital in Philadelphia.

Born in Philadelphia, she was the daughter of Robert and the late Louise Evans. Terry married Frank Gatarz on July 1, 1978, and spent 28 wonderful years with him. She lived in Hillsborough for 20 years before moving to Lebanon two years ago.

Terry graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Scranton, a Master’s degree in Education from Rutgers University and a Certificate of Administration from Manhattan College.

She was a teacher at the Christ the King School in Manville for many years, the vice principal of Immaculate Conception School in Somerville for three years, and the principal for the George Everitt Academy in Peapack.

Terry’s first passion was always her family, but teaching and educating were a close second. She genuinely enjoyed the students and committed herself to their betterment. During her leisure time, Terry enjoyed reading, old movies and the Jersey shore.

Besides her mother, Louise, who died in 1998, she was predeceased by her brother, Dennis.

Terry is survived by her husband, Frank Gatarz; her sons, Jonathan and Greg; her daughters, Stephanie and Amanda; her father, Robert Evans of Pompano Beach, Fla.; and her two sisters, Deborah Lewis of Port Crane, N.Y., and Susan Sparrock of Aberdeen. She is also survived by her grandchild, Aiden McKenna.
