Betty Mae Therres

Sept 15, 1935 - March 14, 2025

The Hughesville Volunteer Fire Department and Rescue Squad, along with the Ladies Auxillary of the Hughesville Volunteer Fire Department, regret to announce the passing of Betty Mae Therres. Betty Mae faithfully served the Ladies Auxillary for over 70 years. As one of the last surviving Charter members, she was integral in the foundation of the Ladies Auxillary. Betty Mae saw the need and a void within the fire service that the Ladies Auxillary could support. The partnership of the fire department and ladies auxillary has been vital to the success of the fire service over the years. She was a fierce leader and President of the Auxillary for over 25 years. Throughout the years, she held the rank of every position within the Hughesville Ladies Auxillary. Her commitment and dedication to the fire service was not limited to Hughesville. In 1980-1981, Betty Mae proudly lead the Southern Maryland Ladies Auxillary as President. She was well known and well respected throughout the fire service in Southern Maryland. Her work on several committees over the years certainly paved the way for the future. For her many years of dedicated service, she was inducted into the Southern Maryland Hall of Fame on May 5, 1993.

Betty Mae was a role model and leader for many women throughout the years, even a pioneer for the development of our Ladies Auxillaries throughout the area. Over the most recent years, Betty Mae didn't make the monthly meetings, but she ensured she called monthly to be excused. Despite her absence, she was proud of the Ladies Auxillary and stayed on top of their work and accomplishments.

The community has felt the positive impact of Betty Mae for many years, and we hope to be able to maintain her legacy for years to come. We extend our sincere condolences to the entire Therres family and send our prayers for healing and peace.
