Upon returning to Wahpeton, she began working at PrimeWood, a job she held for 25 years.
On June 23, 2018, Teresa was married to Robert Draeger at Evergreen United Methodist Church in Wahpeton. The two enjoyed their life together and Teresa treated his son, RJ, as if he were her own.
Family was very important to Teresa and she cherished her time spent with them. She was a very independent, caring, loving, and giving person, and always put everyone else’s needs before her own. She enjoyed cooking for Robert and RJ, loved her dog, buddy, and spent many hours watching Dancing With the Stars and talking it over with her Mom afterwards.
Teresa is survived by her husband, Robert and son, RJ; her mother, Donna Hintgen; brothers, Bill (Jodi) and Brian; sister, Annie (Rick); and several aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews.
She is preceded in death by her father, Robert; brother, Bobby; and her grandparents.
