Teresa Kay Craver, age 72 of Perry, Kansas, went to dance in the eternal presence of God on Wednesday, January 20, 2021. She was born on October 13, 1948 in Miles City, Montana to the late Reverend Walter and Madalyn Simpson. In addition to her parents she is preceded in death by her husband of 43 years, John K. Craver.
She is survived by her sister, Joy Simpson and brother, Steve Simpson, and numerous nieces, nephews, family and friends.
Teresa was a trained pianist and singer. In her 20's she performed with the Lyric Opera of Kansas City and Starlight Theater. She graduated from Baker University in Baldwin, Kansas. She later completed nurses training at Stormont Vail in Topeka and enjoyed a 29 year career as a nurse at Lawrence Memorial Hospital in Kansas.
We will always remember the beauty of Burr Oak Farm, her home of many years, and Teresa's famous Christmas bread. She loved to travel with her husband John, listen to the Blues, and eat John's barbeque; they made Big John's delicious sauce in their country kitchen. After John's death, Teresa joined her sister Joy and spouse Stacy in Dayton, Ohio where she enjoyed being part of Eternal Joy MCC church.
