Widrick at Naumburg Mennonite Church with Pastor Elmer Moser officiating.  Teresa lovingly raised her family as a stay at home mom. 

She was a member of Naumburg Mennonite Church, where she hosted several women’s Bible studies and taught Sunday school.  Together with her husband, they served on several committees at church.

Teresa enjoyed her flower beds, cooking and baking, camping, swimming and being outdoors.  Most of all she enjoyed spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren.  Her greatest legacy was her faith and her love for Jesus.
