Teresa White 05/23/2025

Teresa Margaret White, born on October 15, 1953, in Saint Paul, Minnesota, peacefully passed away on May 23, 2025, at her home in New Richmond, Wisconsin, at the age of 71. She was a cherished member of her community and dedicated her life to her family and her work as a cook.
Teresa is survived by her beloved husband, Walter White, and their two daughters, Stacy White and Samantha Johnson; She cherished her role as a grandmother to Michael White, Adam Kautz Jr., Cody Johnson, and Madelyn Johnson, and was grateful to have son-in-law Gabriel Johnson and soon to be son-in-law Stephen Fischer as part of her family. She was also well known as grandma to many of her grandchildren’s friends.
Her family was her greatest treasure, and she spent countless hours creating memories with them through vacations, camping trips, and boating trips on the St. Croix River. Her competitive spirit shone through as she enjoyed bowling, playing pool, ping pong, and board games. As an avid fan of the Green Bay Packers, Teresa looked forward to watching games and sharing her love for football with her family. She also loved bonfires in the backyard and listening to live music on the patio at local restaurants. Her festive spirit shone brightly during the Christmas season, which she cherished above all.
She will be deeply missed by all who knew her and were touched by her warm heart, uplifting spirit and vibrant personality; as well as those who are grateful for the precious memories they created together.
Teresa was preceded in death by: Joseph Dillon (father), Joan Dillon (mother), Michael White (son)

    We are so sorry to hear about the passing of our dear friend Tracy. We had so many good times with both Tracy and Walter in our younger years so many memories we often talk about the times in Somerset dancing away to the bands and of coarse the Hitching Post and Cylon and our many motorcycle rides we took together. We will never forget those memories. God bless your family through these difficult times.

    Stacy:
    So sad to see this. Losing parents at a young age of 48 was hard and even one at 82. But no matter the age it is always hard to say good bye to the ones we love.
    Will be praying for her and you and family
