She lived a short time in Houghton before making her home in Rabbit Bay. Teri had worked for Delta Airlines, Northwest Airlines, Century 21, and Little Brothers.

Teri enjoyed her life being on Lake Superior at Rabbit Bay. She loved feeding and watching hummingbirds, dancing, and was an avid tennis and Green Bay Packer fan and most of all, enjoyed life.

Besides her parents and her husband, she was preceded in death by her dear pets Sophie, Rambo, and Remy.
