Prior to this she had made her home in Hastings where she had lived for many years.  Teresa was born January 10th, 1960 in Hastings, NE but lived her early years in Kearney before her family moved to Harvard Nebraska where she graduated from Harvard High School in 1979.  Afterwards she attended Central Community College in Hastings where she received an associate degree in Early Childhood Education.

Shortly after graduation she moved to Rawlins, Wyoming and worked for the Head Start program mainly caring for special needs children. A career move to Las Vegas, Nevada found her working for the Clark County School District as a para-educator and she remained and enjoyed living in Las Vegas for eight years total.

Teresa has missed him dearly since that day but has now joined him in the arms of her heavenly Father for eternity. Teresa’s father Kenneth Ejlersen also preceded her in death.
