Teresa R. RedEagle Dies; Former Resident was 64
Teresa Robin RedEagle
Teresa Robin RedEagle, a former Sitka resident, passed away in Poplar, Montana, on Sept. 9, 2021.
Teresa born Nov. 21, 1957, in Tacoma, Washington, one of six children of Phillip and Marian RedEagle. She was raised in Montana, Washington and Alaska. At the time of her passing she was employed by the Indian Health Services of the Fort Peck Assiniboine and Sioux Tribes as a health information supervisor.
As a young girl, Teresa learned to love the arts. She was a self-taught singer and six- and twelve-string guitar player. She also created hand-made clothes, using the crafts of embroidery, knitting and sewing. Her creations included hand-knitted, lifelike dolls for the Seattle Supersonics NBA team in 1979-80. She also was accomplished in drawing and oil painting.
She graduated from Blatchley Junior High School and, in 1976, from Sitka High School. In college, Teresa earned an associate degree at Sheldon Jackson College in Sitka, and a bachelor’s degree from Seattle University and Seattle Pacific University in medical records administration, in 1982.
She quickly gained employment with Schick Shadel Treatment Facility in Burien, Washington. In the early 1990’s she became an employee of the Indian Health Services in Poplar as a health information supervisor until her passing.
She volunteered her time to be a severe weather storm watcher for the National Weather Service. Teresa loved shopping for jewelry, perfume and movie memorabilia, liked the arts, traveling to see museums, movies and Broadway theatre plays. Reading books was another favorite pastime.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Philip and Marian RedEagle; brother Ronald Wade RedEagle; and nephews James, Steven, and Scott Salyers.
She is survived by her sister Darlene Salyers, brothers Keith, Philip and Robert RedEagle and niece Robin Salyers, all of Tacoma.
She also is survived by numerous cousins, nephews and nieces at Fort Peck, Montana and Washington, as well as her large family of co-workers from 28 years of service at IHS.
A viewing was held Sept. 14, 2021, at the Clayton Stevenson Memorial Chapel in Wolf Point. The funeral was Sept. 15, 2021, at the James Black Dog Center in Fort Kipp, Montana. Interment was at the Fort Kipp Cemetery.
