Theresa May Stormer, 91, of Waldorf, Maryland, passed away peacefully at home on April 3, 2026, leaving behind a life defined by devotion, generosity, and unwavering love for her family.

Born March 29, 1935, in Leeland, Maryland, she was one of nine children to the late Joseph Greenbury and Blanche Walker Sweeney.

May graduated from Frederick Sasscer High School in 1953. After graduating, May was a clerk typist for the Prince George's County Board of Education.
