Teresa was a 1965 graduate of North High School in Wichita, KS, and spent a few years at Friends University. Her life reflected steady dedication and a quiet strength.
Over the years, Teresa worked a variety of jobs, including the nursery at First United Church in Wichita and Gerbes supermarket, before finding her place at Ellis Fischel Cancer Center. There, she served for 19 years before retiring, leaving behind a legacy of reliability and heartfelt service in work that mattered deeply to many.
