Theresa Marie Sullivan
November 9, 1960 - March 30, 2018 It is with a profound sadness that we announce the passing of Theresa Sullivan on March 20, 2018 after a hard fought battle with cancer. She will be lovingly remembered by her husband Hugo Bergen; children, Rebecca and Ryan; parents, Patrick and Bernadette Sullivan; brothers, Michael (Lesley) and Kevin, and her sister Mary (Peter). Also left to mourn her passing are the many members of her extended family. Theresa was born in Port Credit, Ontario, and at the age of seven moved to Mount St. Louis, the place she called home. It remained special to her the rest of her days. After high school, she attended the University of Western Ontario and graduated as an occupational therapist. Once you got to know Theresa, you could see that therapy was in her DNA. She began her OT career in Vancouver where she ended up meeting the love of her life, Hugo (how lucky was he!!!). They became engaged in Vancouver and started their wonderful life together in New York City in Jan. 1989. It was an exciting three year adventure that gave their relationship a solid foundation of love and support for the years to come. While experiencing the excitement of NYC, Theresa dedicated herself to starting a career in education (teaching was also in her DNA, as many can tell you). She worked hard during the day and in her 'spare time' worked even harder to complete a Masters Degree in Health Education at Columbia University. It was during this time that her role in treating a young patient was featured in Readers Digest. In Jan. 1992, Theresa and Hugo started their life in Winnipeg. She initially worked at the HSC in the Occupational Therapy Dept. until the birth of their darling daughter Rebecca in 1993. Four years later, her family was completed when Ryan arrived. In 1994 she began teaching in the Dept. of Occupational Therapy within the School of Medical Rehabilitation. She truly took great pleasure in combining her love of OT with her love of teaching, which allowed her to pass on her knowledge, enthusiasm, and energy for the profession to future generations. This dynamism would lead to numerous teaching awards over the years, including the Saunderson Award for Excellence in Teaching (the top award for teaching at the U of M). She was also recently recognized by the Manitoba Society of OTs as the 'Most Inspiring Professor' for her dedication to the OT profession. Even as she entered her fifties, her enthusiasm for the profession continued unabated as she enrolled in a PhD program to further her research interests in therapy. It was with great sadness that she withdrew from her PhD program due to her declining health. Her career was marked with achievements both great and small and she helped the careers of countless students as they progressed through the program. Her students appreciated her for her empathy, understanding, support, thoughtfulness, wisdom, and 'shoulder to cry on' as cited by her numerous nominations for teaching awards. Hers was a truly distinguished and remarkable career. Her dedication to her career paled in comparison to the love and dedication she had for her family. She supported Rebecca and Ryan throughout their academic and sports endeavours. Throughout the years, Theresa was a constant source of strength, encouragement, and boundless love to Hugo, and their relationship grew stronger with each year. They simply loved each other and loved spending time together. Road trips were always a favorite time together. The summers were a time of travelling (both east and west) to see friends and family. Her love for her family was truly paramount. As the children grew older and more independent, she found more time to devote to her hobbies of gardening and knitting. During warm spring days she loved nothing more than planting flowers and shrubs within her beloved garden. It was a real joy to walk in the yard and admire her efforts. During the winter months, the evenings became a time of knitting. Her sweaters and scarves (did she love scarves!) were works of art to be worn and enjoyed. Theresa was an incredibly warm, thoughtful, selfless, and caring partner, mother, daughter, sister, and friend. She will be missed. Thank you to the Gyne-Oncology team and chemo nurses at CancerCare. A burial service will be held at St. Louis Cemetery (Mount St. Louis Road West) at 1:00 pm on Saturday, May 26, 2018, with a reception to follow. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to establish a student award in Theresa’s name at the College of Rehab Sciences at the University of Manitoba. Donations can be sent payable to the University of Manitoba c/o Susan Vanstone, College of Rehabilitation Sciences, R106-771 McDermot Ave. Winnipeg, MB R3E 0T6. I was in a couple's home trying to fix their Internet connection. The husband called out to his wife in the other room for the computer password. "Start with a capital S, then 123," she shouted back. We tried S123 several times, but it didn't work. So we called the wife in. As she input the password, she muttered, "I really don't know what's so difficult about typing 'Start123.'"
