Teri's obituary
On September 10, 2022, Teri Bartleson of Park Rapids, MN, (formerly of Windsor, NY) passed away peacefully surrounded by her family. Teri is predeceased by her parents, Bert “Erk” and Dorothy Webb, her father and mother-in-law, Alfred “Jim” and Joyce Bartleson. She is survived by her loving husband of 52 years, Alan and their two daughters, Jody Anderson (Dennis Wingler) and Jeanne (Phil) DiPaolo and her grandchildren, Samantha (Michael) Seafolk, Scott Anderson (Kaylee Lodermeier), Joseph and Dominick DiPaolo. She is also survived by her brothers: Barri, Garri (Diana), and Larri (Karen) Webb and her sisters: Sharon Roberts and Karen Gilliland, and her in-laws: JoAnn Gorgio, PJ Bartleson, Lori (Wendell) Worley, Jerry (Kate) Bartleson, Cindy Corbin and James Bartleson and many nephews and nieces. She will also be lovingly remembered by her dear friends who became family: Mary ‘Big Mama” Green, Priscilla Schuck, Jake Beach (her adopted son) and many other special people in her life.
Teri was a fiery redhead who had quick-witted humor and an infectious laugh. She had a huge, loving heart and was the first to offer help to those in need. She was proud of her flower gardens and her hummingbirds. Alan always made sure she had plenty of crosswords and scratch-offs which she really enjoyed. She also enjoyed being out of the boat with Alan. Some of her fondest memories were baking with her mother, sisters, daughter and grandchildren. Her grandchildren were truly the light of her life and she was always their biggest cheerleader. And many of those close to her will fondly remember all of her texts and Facebook posts all in capital letters with exclamations points, and her very own text acronyms with 12 emojis!!
Teri requested a small service with immediate family only, but we appreciate everyone’s love and support. In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting donations to her memorial fund which will help with end-of-life expenses and donations to charities.
