Teresa M. Cremer

Teresa M. Cremer, 89, of La Crescent, passed away Thursday, October 20, 2005, at the La Crescent Healthcare Center, where she had been a resident since 2001. A Mass of Christian Burial was held Monday, October 24 at 10:30 a.m. at the Church of the Crucifixion in La Crescent. Msgr. Donald W. Grubisch officiated with burial taking place in the Crucifixion Cemetery. Visitation was held at the Schumacher-Kish Funeral Home of La Crescent.

Teresa was born on June 4, 1916 in Festina, Iowa, the fourth of five children born to Michael and Theresa (Rausch) Hauer. She married Vic Cremer on May 26, 1938, in Decorah and they had two sons, John and Clyde. Because Vic worked on construction, they lived in many towns in Iowa and Minnesota during the early years of their marriage. They settled in New Albin, Iowa in 1953 before moving on to La Crescent in 1964. Vic passed away on July 26, 1972. Teresa then married Michael Dischler in 1980, and he preceded her in death in December of 1988.

Teresa was employed by Schmidty’s Restaurant in La Crosse from 1964 until 1981. Known as a wonderful cook and hostess to many family gatherings, she had recipes and cooking on her mind right up to the very end of her life.

She is survived by two sons, John (Addie) Cremer of La Crescent and Clyde (Gail) Cremer of Pueblo, CO; four grandchildren, Jeffry Cremer, Kellie Cremer, Sean (Brenda) Hanson and Jim (Jessie) Hanson; two great grandchildren, Maddie and Megan Hanson; and many nieces and nephews.

In addition to her two husbands, Teresa was preceded in death by her siblings, Hugo Hauer, Rose Cremer, Elizabeth Lechtenberg and Frances Kafka.

Pallbearers were Jeffrey Cremer, Sean Hanson, Jim Hanson, Don Cremer, Ireanus Lechtenberg, and Darryl Hauer.
