IN LOVING MEMORY OF
Charles M.
"Wilt" Teter

Obituary
Charles Michael "Wilt" Teter, 58, passed away peacefully Monday surrounded by his loving family at his home in Zion Grove.
Wilt was born in Shenandoah, Jan. 29, 1957, a son of Helen Long Teter, Zion Grove, and the late Harold Teter.
He was a graduate of West Hazleton High School, and then became employed at Jeld-Wen (Wenco) Windows, Ringtown, where he worked for 30 years. He then began a new career at SAPA Industries, Cressona, where he designed automotive parts that are being used in the 2015 Ford trucks.
Wilt loved the outdoors and spending time with his family. Hunting was his passion. He was president of the Zion Grove Hunting Club and a member of the Shenandoah Fish and Game Club. He always had an entertaining big buck or long beard turkey story. He enjoyed taking his family hunting as well.
He would often be seen putting around on his 4-wheeler accompanied by one or more of his family members or pets.
Aside from being an outdoorsman, Wilt dedicated his life to sports. He was an assistant coach for the North Schuylkill Lady Spartan basketball team for 15 years and former president of the Ringtown Little League Association. Not only was he a coach to his children and countless others, he was an inspiration and role model.
In addition to his father, Harold, his brother, Clyde Teter, preceded him in death.
Wilt is survived, in addition to his mother, Helen, by his former wife, Karen M. Everett and their children, Katie, wife of Jason R. Lex, Ringtown, Michael Teter and his wife, Tiffany, Zion Grove, and Julie, wife of Patrick Donnelly, Zion Grove; his former long time companion, Judy Sheeler, and their children, Mimi Teter, Zion Grove, Lindsey Sheeler, Ringtown, and Lacey Setcavage, Schuylkill Haven. He is also survived by recent companion, Carol McGran.
Surviving are siblings, John P. Teter and Carl Teter, both of Zion Grove, Earl Teter and his wife, Pattie, Ringtown, and Marion, wife of Barry Davis, Zion Grove. He is also survived by grandchildren, Preston Lex, Selene Teter, Lila Teter, Hunter Teter, Dillon Teter, Gabriel Donnelly, Connor Templeton, Landon Templeton, Addison Templeton, Marlee Templeton and Ellie Setcavage.
Relatives and friends are invited to an evening viewing from 6 to 9 p.m. today at the Stauffer-Breznik Funeral Home, 412 W. Main St., Ringtown. A funeral service will be held at 11 a.m. Wednesday at Mount Zion Lutheran Church, Zion Grove, with Pastor Phillip Smith and Pastor Jay Serafin officiating. A viewing will be held in the church one hour prior to the service. Wilt will be laid to rest at Mount Zion Cemetery immediately following the service.
