Teresa Marie Crews

Age 53 of White Bear Township. Passed away unexpectedly, Wednesday, November 22nd in her home. Teresa was born on March 27, 1964 in Newport Beach, CA, a beautiful gift to her parents, Charles and Pat Crews. She liked to call herself a Navy Brat because her dad was serving in the U.S. Navy at the time of her birth and she spent tours at Marine Corp Air Station, El Toro, California and Naval Air Station, Barbers Point, Hawaii. Upon her dad's retirement in 1969, the family settled in Santa Ana, CA and then, Tustin, Ca. In 1976, she moved with her family to New Brighton, MN, where she graduated from Irondale High School and studied Computer Science and Engineering at University of Minnesota. At a very early age, Teresa's Grandmother, Cora Fluharty, taught her how to sew and she used this skill for the rest of her life. She was an avid quilter, seamstress and crafter. Teresa provided a large number of Twin Citians with Christmas Tree Skirts, Hot Pads, Bridesmaid Dresses, etc. At the time of her death she had 28 quilt tops ready to be quilted. Her moto was, "She who dies with the most quilt fabric, wins." Her license plate was SEW-N-GO. She liked to travel and had one or two major trips planed each year. Many of the trips had to do with visiting quilt shops in Minnesota and around the world. The most important thing in Teresa's life was visiting with her nice Chelsea and great-niece Rae. She loved them very much and they were a great part of her busy life. Teresa held many jobs in the Twin Cities, the most notable are; Customer Service at JoAnn Fabric; Programmer at Deluxe Corporation; Programmer at e-Funds Corporation. She was currently working as a Radiographer in the Radiology Department at North Memorial Health. She was preceded in death by her mother, Pat Crews. Teresa is survived by her father, Charles (Kathy) Crews of Staples, brother, Bill (Terri) Crews of Bemidji, niece, Chelsea Crews, nephew, Wil Lindberg and great-niece, Rae Crews.
