Obituary
Theresa E. Rice, 95, of Juno Beach, Florida passed away peacefully on May 11, 2018 at Sylvan Rehabilitation Center, Clearwater, Florida surrounded by her family.
Born November 14, 1922, she was preceded in death by her husband, Herbert L. Rice and her parents, Karl and Maria Ernst.
A compelling beauty, she modeled in the fur district and Gimbel's flagship store in Herald Square, Manhattan.
Theresa was a Florida resident who enjoyed winters in Juno Beach. She was a member of the Everglades Club, the Society of the Four Arts, and a director of the Palm Beach Cancer Society.

For seventeen years she volunteered as a candy striper at the Southampton Hospital where she later served as a trustee. She was a member of Shinnecock Hills Country Club as well as the Southampton Club. She was also a trustee and an honorary board member of the Washington Crossing Foundation.
During her lifetime, Theresa travelled extensively and enjoyed many cruises with family and friends. She was an avid bridge player who delighted in that pastime.
The family wishes to extend its gratitude to caregivers and staff at Sylvan Rehabilitation & Health Center for their love and support over the past five years.
