Obituary
Teresa Ann Nuttelman
If you’re reading this, it means I am finally taking a rest. I have lived a wonderful life full of love, adventure, and fun. I have experienced many exciting things and met a lot of interesting people. I have been blessed with an abundance of wonderful family and friends. I was always telling my husband how much I enjoyed and appreciated my life, and I was so grateful for all the things in it. I am so happy that I took the time to savor and appreciate all the little things! I loved nature, being in the garden, canoeing with James and Leo, the sound the breeze makes as it blows through the poplar trees, the cottonwoods that grow so big and provides us with our shade, my magical ginkgos.
I had adventures, I traveled, and I met interesting people. I loved all my jobs in the field of education and the people I worked with. I took chances and danced in the rain. I lived life passionately!
I am one of the people who will finish life sliding in with chocolate in one hand and a latte in the other, or maybe a martini.
The glass was always half full-
I witnessed miracles and feel fortunate to have learned many things from my grandchildren. How I love my grandchildren!
I was blessed to have lived with dogs who were exceptional friends and companions. Leo was a constant comfort during my illness and last days.
The celebration of life was June 17, 2017 at Fox Hollow. Thank you to all those who were able to share in that joyous evening! While we should do it daily it was fun to have a special moment to acknowledge it. I am glad I did it when I did. Spend time with your loved ones – live and celebrate life!

“For what is it to die but to stand naked in the wind and to melt into the sun? And what is it to cease breathing, but to free the breath from its restless tides, that it may rise and expand and seek God unencumbered?
Only when you drink from the river of silence shall you indeed sing. And when you have reached the mountain top, then you shall begin to climb. And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance.” – The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran
Donations can be made in Teresa’s name to: Gundersen Medical Foundation Hospice https://www.gundersenhealth.org/services/hospice/support/ for donation instructions or Livestrong https://www.livestrong.org/

I only knew Teresa a short time through our DPI Coach work. The one word that just comes to mind about her is SURPRISE. She surprised me with her humor, her insights, her life stories. Its like she sneaked up on you with all this good stuff. I wish I had known more of her and want her family and friends to know how much she was appreciated by people who were not that close or have the longevity you have. Take good care.
So sorry for your loss. Thoughts and prayers for your family and friends.
My deepest sympathy to your family. May you dance in the rain.
Our sympathy and love to the Seeger and Nuttelman families with the loss of dear Teresa. She was a beautiful, strong, loving woman. I can see her dancing with the angels in her white gown. Hugs and love from Candice Brieske and family
Jeff and Sue Miller and family, Scott, Heather and Tori Price.
We are sending our deepest sympathy and love to both the Nuttleman and Seeger family. What a beautiful soul too soon gone. Theresa can forever dance with the Angel’s now. Until we meet again to share a dance we will remember you with love and always a smile. Looking forward to seeing that beautiful smile again. Love always!
