Theresa Nett

A great teacher and friend who helped enliven kids learning through her special spiritual methods. Sister truly cared about the kids she taught and made many memories. She will be truly missed by all the lives she touched along her path to God.

Oh how we all loved Theresa. I don't ever remember her angry or in a "bad mood". She was always encouraging and always had time for me and those around her. I was remembering about the fun times I got to experience with Theresa. There were so many. I remember one time when she came to visit us in Michigan we got lost and we needed to get the attention of some people to ask directions. When she rolled down her window I thought she would say "excuse me" but instead she said "you hoo" and...

I was so blessed to have had Sr.Theresa as my first grade teacher at St. Albert's in Milwaukee. She was the most loving, kind, and caring teacher you could ever want. That love inspired me to become a Catholic School teacher in first grade too. I saw her a number of times over the years at Teacher's conventions and I always thanked her for inspiring me to teach as Jesus did. I will never forget her. My deepest sympathy to her family and the School Sisters of Saint Francis. She was a...

Sister Theresa's passing was very sad news; however, we can't help but rejoice in the fact that she is now in heaven with Our Father. We will always remember her - how can one forget her smile and positive outlook. I will always remember walking by her classroom and seeing the students working quietly, her classical music playing, and her sitting at her desk with a little smile on her face. We hold dear the memories we have of her and we send our sincere condolences to her family and the...

Sister Theresa taught both of our boys, Sean and Kyle at St James in Menomonee Falls. We did keep in touch with Christmas cards usually. She was just so special introducing them to classical music and all types of birds. She will be missed but not forgotten ever because she and my mom went to heaven the same day.

SISTER THERESA IS A SAINT, who taught us all how to live, with humility, happiness and always being concerned for and helping others. We were privileged to have her teach third grade to all four of our children, John, Mike, Amy and Jill, each of whom cherish her as a friend and a teacher. Each year she taught her class a song, using a mix of German/American words that started as 'Vas ist das here,......' about the nose, the eyes, the mouth and so on. To this day, we sing that song and...

I was so sorry to hear of Sister Theresa's passing! She was such a wonderful person and I have many great memories of her and her teaching career.

Always a positive attitude and big smile on her face. I treasure all of the good memories and am glad the suffering didn't have to take any longer.

It is hard to find the words to say how Theresa has impacted my life and all the others she has touched. The kindness she showed and the sparkle in her eyes is something that will live on forever. May you rest in peace and pave the way for the rest of us!
