She married Vic Cremer on May 26, 1938, in Decorah and they had two sons, John and Clyde.

Teresa then married Michael Dischler in 1980, and he receded 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.
