Theresa Louise (Shanks) Satushek
Help us celebrate Theresa Louise! Please share your stories and photos, and invite others who remember Theresa Louise.
As a family we are saddened to announce the passing of Theresa Louise (Shanks) Satushek.
Theresa was born on January 26, 1950 to Donald and Elma Shanks, and passed away on the evening of October 9, 2021 with her family by her side. She grew up in the Machias area of Snohomish, Washington, graduating from Snohomish High School and attended Everett Beauty School. Theresa worked for the City of Everett and Volunteers of America before retiring to be a full time mom. On the side she helped out in the floral shop and made beautiful arrangments.
Theresa was preceded in death by her parents, three brothers, Donald E. Shanks, Jack V. Shanks and Joseph W. Shanks and one sister, Sharon Reddeman.
She is survived by her husband of 35 years, John, her son Jake Satushek (Katie), grandchildren Henry and Abigail. She is also survived by daughter Sherleen Satushek (Randy), grandchildren Lauren (Doug), Mitchell (Taylor), Alex, and Jimena, and daughter Melinda Tuggle (Bret). Theresa is also survived by sisters Ines Gibbs (Warren), Susan Pineda, Shirley McGlothern (Lee), Michelle Kramer (Richard), Joyce Foster (Rob) and brother Robert Shanks (Kim). She is also survived by many nieces, nephews, extended family, and was mom to so many.
She was sweet, sassy, genuine, generous (to a fault at times). She told it how she saw it, without a filter. She was one of a kind and will be deeply missed by all of us.
There are no plans at this time for a service. There will be a Celebration of Life planned at a future date. In lieu of flowers, donations can be sent in Theresa's name to: ICU EvergreenHealth Medial Center, 12040 NE 128th Street, Kirkland, WA 98034, or the Mary Bloom Center (http://www.marybloomcenter.org/about-mbc.html).
