Theresa M. Dvorsky

Theresa Dvorsky, of State College, PA, went to be with Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on June 30, 2025, after a long battle with cancer.

Born in 1945 and raised in Coaldale, Theresa was a devoted wife, mother, sister, and friend who touched the lives of many.

Theresa is survived by her loving husband, Robert, with whom she celebrated 58 years of marriage. Her memory will also be cherished by her daughters, Christine Lukowitsch (Martin) of Charlotte, NC, and Kathy of Emmaus, PA; son Joseph (Katherine Frank) of Menomonie, WI; and sister, Mary Boyer (Steve) of Lake Wynonah, PA.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Alex and Mary (Romanek) Kachurak, and her sister Shirley Kachurak White.

A graduate of Coaldale High School and Sacred Heart School of Nursing, Theresa dedicated her early career to nursing. Eventually she and her husband founded Valley Athletic Supply in Lansford, purchased the Panther Valley Mini Mall, and successfully ran both businesses for many years.

After retiring to State College, Theresa enjoyed cheering for Penn State athletic teams and became a very active member of Oakwood Presbyterian Church, serving as a mentor, greeter, and committee member and sharing her passion for reading and studying the Bible. She also volunteered as a client advocate at State College Pregnancy Resource Clinic.
