Teresa Schwietert Obituary

Teresa would like to let you know her work here is done. At the young age of 56, she received an offer from her Lord for an appointment from which she will not be returning.
She has a reunion with her son, Harlan James Schwietert, and her mother, Irene Elizabeth Lord, whom she has not seen in a long time. Her new calling takes her to a wondrous place where she will be socializing and dancing to her heart's content. Music, laughter and love are guaranteed. The food is great, and she doesn't have to worry about what she eats.
She left detailed instructions for her husband and seven children to carry on and live life to its fullest right away. She has made a difference to many and touched the lives of a multitude of adults and children who happened to fall into her orbit.
We invite you to join us and celebrate her life at 6 p.m. June 20 at the Fairbanks First Assembly of God Church, 2830 Airport Way, AK 99709.
She is survived by her husband of 38 years, Daniel Wayne Schwietert; her children, Paul Thomas Lord-Schwietert, Amanda Dawn Major, Michael Earl Adarius Schwietert, Alexander James Schwietert, Elizabeth Verlena Schwietert, Daniel Zachary Schwietert and Laurisa Marie Schwietert.
She is also survived by her father, Donald George Lord, of Molalla, Oregon; her sister, Deana Rieden; her brother, Gene Lord; and her younger sisters, Martha Baker and Julie McDonnell.
Her kind and loving life lives on in the memories of her many cousins, nephews, nieces, in-laws and grandchildren, who love and miss her with every fiber of their beings from the bottom of their hearts. To say that she will be missed would be the understatement of the century.

Our family will always appreciate the start that Dan and Teresa gave us in Alaska. Letting us stay in the cabin was an act of generosity that few would have done. Our condolences to you, Dan and family.
