Theresa M. Stelmack's Obituary
Theresa Stelmack, 100, longtime Lemmon area educator, passed from this life on Thursday afternoon, Oct. 19th at the Dorsett Regional Senior Care Center in Spearfish.
The funeral service will be held 11 AM Tuesday October 24, 2006 at the St. Mary's Catholic Church in Lemmon. Visitation will be held 1 hour prior to the service at the church. Interment will be held in the Greenhill Cemetery in Lemmon. Arrangements are with Evanson – Jensen Funeral Home in Lemmon, and Funeral Home of the Northern Hills in Belle Fourche.
Theresa Mae Lowe was born May 30, 1906 in Hammond, Illinois. She was the daughter of Thomas E. and Winona (Bunyan) Lowe. In 1907 she moved with her family near Meadow SD. She was the eldest of ten children and helped her parents raise her younger siblings.
Theresa attended school in Meadow Central and graduated from the Lemmon High School in 1923. She also attended Northern State Teachers College and Spearfish Teachers College, and taught school many years in the Lemmon area.
Theresa was married to Adolph Stelmack in Lemmon in 1932. Following their marriage they farmed north of Lemmon for several years. They later moved south of Thunder Hawk, where they farmed and ranched until Adolph's death in 1964. Theresa later moved into Lemmon until 1986 when she moved into the Hickory House in Spearfish. For the past few months she has been a resident at the Dorsett Regional Senior Care Center in Spearfish.
Theresa will be remembered for her love of teaching. She spent many years teaching and is remembered fondly by generations of children that she schooled. As the oldest of ten children, she was a "second mother" to many of her siblings. This past May, Theresa celebrated her 100th birthday with family. She was a special sister and aunt.
Theresa is survived by her three sisters, Marion Griffith of Sterling Heights MI, Virginia Ostrander of Mill Creek WA, Nadine Bolen of Falls Church VA; one brother, Leon W. Lowe and his wife Irene who spent much time caring for Theresa. She is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her parents; husband; sister, Jean Edwards; and brothers, Erwin, Charley, John, and George Lowe.
May God Bless the Memory of Theresa M. Stelmack.
