Theresa Ann Williams, age 53, of Chatham, died unexpectedly from an aneurysm on Saturday, February 7, 2015 in Meeker, Colorado where she was working as a traveling medical technician. Theresa was born on December 21, 1961 in West Palm Beach, Florida to Ernie and Priscilla (Richards) Norberg. She grew up in Florida and when she was fifteen, her family moved to Sundell. Theresa graduated from Eben High School in 1979. She raised her daughter Loni and on April 28, 1983, Theresa married Dennis Alan Williams. The family moved to Florida in 1985 and Theresa worked in a veterinary office. Because of her kind soul and love of animals, it was a perfect job for her. In 1991, her family returned north and Theresa earned her Bachelor's Degree in Laboratory Science from Northern Michigan University.

In 2010, Theresa began traveling as a med tech. She worked from the Arctic Circle to the Caribbean and many places in between. Theresa enjoyed fishing, camping, hosting family get-togethers, traveling, hanging out with family and friends, drinking her coffee, flower gardening, yearly shopping with her two best friends Cynthia and Denise, and she was "Queen" of all board games.
