Theresa G. Ancona, 69, of Fort Drum, NY passed away peacefully March 17, 2026 at the Samaritan Medical Center. She was born April 7th, 1956, in Tennessee, the daughter of George and Mildred (Betscher) Hudak.

She later married Joseph Lump, and together they raised two children before their marriage ended in divorce but continued to have a loving friendship. Theresa resided in Illinois for many years, where she worked in the hospitality industry.

She eventually moved in with her daughter, son-in-law, and two grandchildren, who are a military family. Theresa has enjoyed moving around the country with her family and having new adventures and seeing new places.

The family, having lived in New York before, eventually made their way back to a place they loved.

Theresa enjoyed reading, shopping, spending time outdoors, baking, cooking, had a love for music, and most of all spending time with her grandchildren and watching them grow into adults.

She is survived by her two children, Ronald Lump and his wife Randi of Illinois, Robin Zielinski and her husband Anthony of Fort Drum; three grandchildren, Joey Caliendo and his wife Alexandria, Griffin Zielinski and his wife Anna, Angel Zielinski and her fiancé Matthew Wilson; twin great grandchildren Max and Luke Caliendo; her brother Randall Betscher of Texas; her sister, Barbara Neanover of Florida; and her former husband and good friend, Joseph Lump and his Fiancé Soi Vannouvong.

Arrangements are with Hart & Bruce Funeral Home. Burial will take place in Lloyd Cemetery in Ebensburg, Pennsylvania, at the convenience of the family.
