Theresa Ellen Eisberner, "Tressa," 75, of Humbird joined our heavenly father Monday, March 19, 20112.  Death occurred in her home surrounded by her loving family and under the care of Black River Memorial Hospital Hospice.

Theresa was a loving servant of the Lord, her family and the community. Theresa was born Nov. 16, 1936, in Mentor Township to William and Violetta (Fitzmaurice) O’Leary.

She was united in marriage to Donald L. Eisberner Feb. 1, 1954, and together they raised seven children in rural Humbird. Donald preceded her in death in April 1982. She then spent the remaining years with her loving partner Fred "Frick" Theiler. Theresa worked many years as a certified nursing assistant at Sunset Nursing Home in Fairchild and Black River Memorial Hospital until 1986 when she purchased the Hotel Bar and Grill in Humbird. Tress and Frick ran the business until retiring in 2000.

Tressa loved the beauty of nature; she loved rides in the countryside, flowers, birds, Kit Kat candy bars, her children, grandchildren and the Green Bay Packers.
