Katherine W. Teel

My thoughts and prayers are with the family at this time. Mrs. Teel was a wonderful person. She was kind, thoughtful and a beautiful dancer.

As my Saltaltrix dance teacher at Eastwood High School in the late 70s, she encouraged me to try to do better and taught me that with hard work, comes great reward. She was always good humored, even with the hard to reach students in our class. Whether it was during our stretches or choreography, she taught us that with a little patience and...

My prayers are with your family. Mrs. Teel was a great teacher,mentor, and dancer. Her love of dance was infectious and she passed it on to all of her students. She always expected the best from all of her students at Eastwood and she was Saltatrix. I greatly admired and respected her. May God bless you.

To all of Kathy's family. She is among my greatest memories of the valley, and YHS. Love and prayers to all. Kathleen (Regan) Cline

Sorry we had not kept in touch since I moved to the Pacific Northwest right after YHS graduation, but Kathy and I go back to Ysleta Grade School. My heart goes out to all her family in their loss. We can take comfort in knowing she is at peace at last.

To Mrs. Teel's Family, my greatest and sincerest condolences. She was a woman of Great Spirit that was infectious. She was my dance teacher at Hanks High School, she was the reason to get up and go to school everyday. She pushed me hard and expected nothing less than perfection from us girls. I have carried that lesson in my life ever since. I am truly saddened that she is gone but the lives she touched was amazing. She was a beautiful lady, a mentor, a teacher and her soul's fire set...

To Mrs. Teel's family...how sorry I am that you have to endure such a loss. She was a very important person in my life in high school at Hanks. She pushed me to do the best that I could in dance class. Silhouettes was superb during her time. As I take my daughter to dance class I still hear her words and see her moves as I watch the instructors teach. No one compares! Again my deepest sympathy!

Bill - my condolence to you and your family: may God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

My condolences to Mrs. Teel's family. She was my dance instructor at Hanks High School from 1990-1992. Dance class was always my favorite class of the day because of her. I have always thought about her and wished her well. She was an exceptional woman and dancer. God bless those she left behind as she will be missed.

It was nearly 20 years ago since I last saw her but still it feels like yesterday... Mrs. Teel, the BEST Silhouettes dance instructor ever! Ive missed you since the day I graduated from high school..and miss you MORE than ever now. Thank you for being my teacher, mentor, friend, and greatest inspiration! I will NEVER forget you! To her beloved family,thank you for giving me the chance to spend the happiest days of my life with her! God Bless you and comfort you.
