My life will be forever changed because of Teri. She was such a trooper surviving cancer, a hip replacement and stent. She never complained. I told her many times that she was my hero. She always spoke so fondly of her family and friends. She had a huge capacity to love. She was so thoughtful, kind, funny and always there when I needed her. She will be greatly missed in so many ways. My heart goes out to all her family and friends. May she find peace in the great unknown. I love you, Teri.
Jeanne Holfield says
Thank you for all you did for Teri. You were there when she needed you as well!

Thinking of all of you today as you celebrate Teri’s life!
We were saddened to hear of her passing. Curt worked with Teri for about 12 years at Hutch Utilities. We missed her retirement party and were always going to take her out to dinner to celebrate her retirement, but never got it done. Cherish your memories and hold them close to your heart! She was a great person!
Rest In Peace Teri, free of pain and suffering!

Cathy Gregersen says
I remember Teri form school in Audubon. I always enjoyed walking with her and I considered us friends. I have always wondered where she was, but never had any luck in finding anyone who knew. I know that she was such a nice person, and I am sure that did not change over all these years. May your family find comfort in all the wonderful memories that she left behind. Cathy
