Teresa Northcutt, 52, of Lynnville and formerly of Newton, passed away Tuesday, Jan. 3, 2017 at her home. A celebration of life will be held at the Taintor Community Church on Sunday, Jan. 15, at 2 p.m. with a light luncheon to follow. Iowa Cremation is assisting the family. The burial of her ashes will occur at a later time at the Stewart Cemetery in the Prairie Township of Mahaska County. In lieu of flowers, the family has asked contributions to be made to grow Teresa’s memorial garden that she treasured dearly. The family would like to add a memorial stone to it to honor her.
Teresa was born Nov. 2, 1964, in Newton to Rosalee Edwards and the late John Buckroyd. She attended high school in Newton along with her sisters, Tanya (Buckroyd) Bean and Tabitha Buckroyd. At the age of 22, she had her first daughter, Heather. On June 13, 1991, Teresa began dating the love of her life, Kelly. They married July 25, 2000. Together they had two children, Roza and Clarissa. She spent many years cooking and managing the kitchen at the Long Horn Restaurant in Grinnell. However, after the birth of her second child, she became a homemaker and dedicated her life to her family. She loved being able to see her children grow up. She did some part-time work in the Casey’s kitchen in Sully throughout the years. Teresa loved gardening and plants. Her house is full of pants that she has nurtured throughout the years. She loved butterfilies and birds, but here was no animal that she loved as much as her dog, Shadow. Teresa cared so much about taking care of everyone else that sometimes she forgot to take care of herself.
Teresa is survived by her husband Kelly Northcutt of Lynnville; children Heather (Daniel) Handy of Norwalk and Roza and Clarissa Northcutt of Lynnville; mother Rosalee Edwards of Newton; sister Tanya (Don) Bean of Marengo; grandchildren Ethan and Xander Handy; and many nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her father John Buckroyd, sister Tabitha Buckroyd, grandmother Pearl Ver Dught and nephew John Lloyd.
