Theresa Ann (Greutman) Livers was born in Williston,
ND on November 7, 1956, to Herman and Cecelia (Fry)
Greutman. Raised in Williston, ND, Theresa was the second
youngest of seven children, including three sisters, Helen,
Mary, Bonnie, and three brothers, John, Richard, and Jim.
She attended Williston High School where she participated
in cheerleading, track, and played percussion in the
Williston High School band. Theresa also retained her
baton twirling skills into her later years and would still
perform her routines for friends and family. In her teen
years, Theresa developed her artistic talents and became a
skilled artist in various media, including painting, drawing,
and photography. Theresa's upbringing allowed her to
cherish family, love history, respect heritage, and believe in
living life.
While always dreaming of becoming an Oceanographer,
the possible lack of oceans in North Dakota directed
Theresa to pursue another career path after high school.
Theresa attended Williston State College and then later
Trinity School of Nursing in Minot, ND where she became a
Registered Nurse in 1979. Theresa then obtained a
Bachelor's of Science degree in Nursing from Minot State
University in 1988. After graduation, Theresa worked at
Mercy Hospital in Williston, ND and then in Trenton, ND as
the Director of Community Health Nursing. In 1991,
Theresa started work as the Administrator of Sidney Health
Center Extend Care. During this time, she completed her
Master's of Science in Community Health Administration
and was a guest instructor teaching several healthcare
related courses at Montana State University Billings.
Theresa remained in this position until 2008 when she
transitioned into what would become the Director of
Continuum of Care Services at Sidney Health Center. Over
the next 10 years, Theresa dedicated her time to benefitting
the community by supporting the development of outreach
and support programming in the area. Theresa was greatly
honored to accept the role of Interim CEO for Sidney Health
Center in 2018. After 28 years, Theresa retired from Sidney
Health Center, a place she considered her second home and
family.
While in high school, Theresa met her husband Colin
who she started dating after he asked her out during
English Class. Colin proposed on their first date after
Theresa made him bowl nine games at the bowling alley.
Theresa married Colin on April 7, 1979 at St. Joseph’s
Church in Williston. Colin and Theresa had two children
while living in Williston, Michael and Stephanie. In 1990,
Colin and Theresa moved to Billings, MT where they gave
birth to their youngest daughter Amanda. Later that year
Colin and Theresa moved to Sidney, MT where they have
lived ever since. Theresa was an amazing wife, mother,
and grandmother. If anyone was more concerned for the
well-being of others, that person was Theresa. From filling
in as caretaker, friend, mother, or mentor, Theresa had an
innate ability to help people realize their potential and
make the best out of any situation. She never shied away
from sharing her stories and humor or listening to other
people when they were in need and was always insistent on
making sure friends, family, and co-workers were well fed,
regardless of the situation. When not insistent on taking
care of everyone else, her two main loves were family and
the outdoors. Theresa spent every spare minute outside
surrounded by nature. She loved to capture the beauty of
nature through photography and painting. During her
earlier years, Theresa was inspired by nature and created
beautiful wildlife paintings. She also accompanied Colin on
hunting trips over the years to photograph the landscapes.
During the winter she could be found cross country skiing
down by the river. In nicer weather she loved to hike the
badlands, ride 4-wheeler, and hunt for agates. She passed
on her love for the outdoors to her children and
grandchildren. Inspired by years of nature's beauty, her
final request to friends and family was to "Live more, Love
more".
On Thursday, May 3, 2018, Theresa passed away at her
home surrounded by her husband and three children.
Theresa is survived by: her husband, Colin Livers,
Sidney, MT; her children, Michael (Meghan) Livers, St.
