During her high school years, she enjoyed playing cornet in the Bremen Marching Band. After graduating from Bremen High School in 1958, Teresa worked at Bottorff Chiropractic Clinic in Plymouth.

After the passing of her husband of 51 years, she enjoyed playing Bingo and Euchre with her friends. In her later years, she moved from her home of 60 years at Cook Lake to Autumn Trace Assisted Living facility where she enjoyed their many activities and the friendship of others.
