More info on Teresa

Hi Frank. Just got a call from Christopher Bates with a bit of info. He said there will eventually be a notice in The Delavan Enterprise and also a mass held at St Andrews for Teresa in November. 

There will not be a funeral and no burial. Remains were cremated and Christopher is in charge of spreading ashes at his discretion.  

Cause of death is listed on death certificate as “natural causes”.

60th Class Reunion








Hello DDHS Classmates,

Normally I would be informing all of you at this time about plans for our 60th class reunion.  Unfortunately because of the corona virus we cannot make any definite commitments at this time.  I will provide you with an overview of the plans and possible dates.

Currently we propose holding the reunion either the weekend of September 10th and 11th or the 17th and 18th, 2021.  If the Village Inn (Delavan Lake) is still open we will have a fish fry there on Friday night like we did for the 55th reunion.  It was a great gathering spot.  We received lots of positive feedback from classmates about the venue and the food.

Several classmates have asked us to have a lunch gathering on Saturday so they don’t have drive home in the dark or stay overnight.  We are looking at Delbrook Golf Course for the luncheon.  I’m also checking on the “Lake Lawn Queen”.  This is a boat out of Lake Lawn.  They have not responded to my request for information at this point.  I don’t know if they serve food, how many people it holds or the costs to rent the “Queen”.  Our class account has a balance of $275.00 that we could allocate towards the boat trip rental.  This might be something to do after our luncheon.

Sue Alter suggested we attend a performance at the Belfry Theater in Williams Bay on Saturday night. Everyone could order their own tickets on line.  If enough classmates show an interest in this we could request a block of seats together.  

My hope is that we are free of the virus SOON!!!  It has turned all of our lives upside down.  I will keep you updated as plans are finalized.  This probably won’t happen until spring of 2021.

I hope to see all of you at our 60th reunion.

She started her rewarding nursing career at St. Josephs working in the mom/baby unit which led to the NICU(Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) at Sinai and West Allis. She loved going to various restaurants with her friends and then heading to The Rep to see a play. Coaching her Brewers and Packers was a favorite pastime along with attending her Alma Mater in Madison to cheer the Badgers to victory! She enjoyed teaching Sunday School at Bridge Church, and her faith in Jesus has brought eternal life with Him. Her smile and laugh will be missed by everyone that knew and loved her.
