In 1989, Teta married the love of her life, David Henry Shannon. She often referred to him as "Henry the VIII". He was her King and he treated her like a queen. He adored her. Life in their kingdom was full of fishing, playing bingo, going to yard sales, an occasional trip to the casino, and self-sacrifice. She loved to sew and do crafts, and made gifts for everyone. Her heart was made of gold and she always put her family and others before herself.

She leaves behind her husband, Dave; sons Tim, Jeff (Karyn), and Monte; daughter Monta (Russell Biddle); sisters Jackie (Kevin Sullivan), Frances Falkenhagen, and Jeanie Thorgramson; grandchildren Dustin (Nikki), Dylan (Laken), Chad (Devan), Shayla, Derrick, Jeremy, Kourtney, Trevor (Abbey), Ashley, Jessi, and 19 great-grandchildren. Also surviving her is a large number of extended family, whom she loved.
