She was a homemaker and loving care giver to her mother-in-law, Ida Reimers and sister-in-law, Cindy Reimers. Theresa loved Halloween and any reason to have family come together. Family was everything to her. Whether you had known her for 10 minutes or 10 years you were always greeted by a Mama T hug. She spent many hours crocheting and crafting homemade gifts for birthdays and holidays for everyone. If she didn't have a crochet hook in hand she could be found in the garden planning the next round of crops for canning. Gardening and reading were her peace.

Theresa is survived by her husband, John; sisters, Ruth Blesh of New Underwood, South Dakota, Paula Kemmis of Billings, Montana, and Sarah (Kevin) Kleinschmit of Jefferson City, Missouri; son, Wayne (Christina) Jeppesen of Ceresco; daughters, Jane (Kyle) Cleveland of Norfolk, and Kelsie Jeppesen of Ceresco; 18 grandchildren; five great-grandchildren; sister-in-law, Cindy Reimers of Winside; nieces; nephews and cousins.

Theresa was preceded in death by her parents; son, Caleb Jeppesen and mother-in-law, Ida Reimers.
