Teresa Lewis a resident of Douglas died Friday, March 11, 2011 at her home of cancer.
She was born on March 20, 1978 in Chadron, Nebraska the daughter of David W. and Twila A. (Mahring) Vogl. She became a fighter at an early age, when she underwent heart surgery at age 5. Teresa attended school in Crawford, Nebraska, where she participated in many extra-curricular activities.
She started college at Chadron State College in August, 1996, where she met the love of her life, Casey Lewis. Teresa continued to work hard at several jobs, while putting herself through college, each one preparing her in some way for the career she would pursue in nursing. God opened the doors for her to attend nursing school through Ogallala Lakota College on the Pine Ridge Reservation.
Teresa and Casey were married in Crawford on July 1, 2000. She received her RN degree in August, 2001. She then moved to Douglas and started working for a private physician and later for Memorial Hospital of Converse County. She tried her hand at different areas of nursing and found her love in the OB department, where she spent the rest of her career and made many close friends. Her love for this career and the people she met was so strong she worked as she battled her way through a year of cancer treatments.
Teresa took great pride in her yard and home and loved taking on new projects and lining them up for her husband. Together they enjoyed this hard work as they took on home improvements with each home they owned. Teresa and her family loved the outdoors and spent many summers making their annual trips to the Big Horns, where it became a tradition for everyone to gather with their campers. She enjoyed taking pictures on these events and would come home to her craft room to scrapbook and sew. The true joy for Teresa was her two children, Avery age 5 and Ridge age 3. Each day with them warmed her heart and uplifted her day. She was a proud and wonderful mother who will be dearly missed.
She was preceded in death by paternal grandmother, Evelyn Vogl and grandpa, Jerry Lewis.
