She began working as a medical technician at the Jessup Correctional Institution. She also processed medical records for Kaiser Permanente and Northwest Hospital as well as held many other jobs with various companies. In early 2000, she started her own Notary Business which she really enjoyed until her health began to fail. Theresa's Christian journey began when she accepted Christ as her personal Savior at an early age. She joined the Concord Baptist Church Family where she loved to fellowship and pray. She was a faithful member until her health prevented her from attending; however, the Deacon Family Ministry would travel to her home or the hospital (if she had been admitted there) and that fellowship kept her spirits high. Sister Orellana-Hernandez met and married Charles Legrant, her first husband from this union two children were born, Tamara Legrant and Dominic Legrant. She then later in late met and married Bernalo (Lindo) Orellano- Hernandez. Our dear departed sister loved her children dearly and she enjoyed people and life. One of her greatest joys were the monthly luncheon outings with her great school friends, Michael, Lisa, Marline and Francella. She loved to cook, take trips and she was an electronic whiz! She also had a deep passion for bowling and bowled on a league for many years at AMF Lanes in Towson in the early 80's as "Lady T."
