Teresa Ann Treadwell


Teresa Ann Treadwell, of Eaton Rapids and formerly Charlotte, known by many for her very giving heart, died October 1, 2023 at the age of 50. Teresa was born December 24, 1972 in Eaton Rapids, the third daughter of Richard and Vivian (Galusha) Freer. A 1991 graduate of Eaton Rapids High School, Teresa went on to be a secretary for the Eaton County Jail for many years. She and her late husband, Larry, loved to tell people that they met in jail (he was a deputy). Teresa adored her children and was a very involved mom, attending every event and being involved in all of their activities as they were growing up. Some of Teresa’s favorite activities were listening to classical and Disney music, watching her favorite TV shows (MASH and Chicago Fire), and any opportunity where she could go camping in her tent.

Teresa is survived by her son, Lance (Taylor) Treadwell; daughter, Meagan Treadwell; step son, Larry Treadwell; father, Richard Freer; sisters, Janet Freer and Cindy (Kevin) Richmond; many nieces, nephews, and cousins; and her beloved dog, Sham. She was preceded in death by her husband, Lawrence Lee Treadwell in 2018; and by her mother, Vivian Freer in 2020.

Visitation and a celebration of Life were held Thursday, October 5, 2023 with Rev. Andy Shaver officiating. If desired, the family suggests memorial contributions to Susan G. Komen. The family is in the care of Pray Funeral Home, Charlotte.
