Teresa Stauffer Foster[edit]

Teresa was born on January 11, 1916. She was the daughter of Samual Martin Stauffer and Anne Mary Dorwart.[1] She was born and raised in Lancaster, Pennsylvania where she decided to go to St Joseph Nursing School in 1937.[2]

Teresa joined the Army Nurse Corps when she was 25 years old.[3] Teresa met the numerous requirements associated with being a nurse then including being single. She was stationed in Hawaii at Pearl Harbor shortly after joining the Corps.[4] She was there on December 7, 1941. She had just been leaving her night shift when the attack began.[5] Teresa, along with many others responded immediately to help the wounded and provide the organization in the chaos.

Following the war, Teresa married a man named John Foster.[6] They lived together in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and had one daughter before John died in 1950.[7] Teresa died in Lancaster in 1998 at the age of 82.[8] She was buried at Saint Joseph's New Roman Catholic Cemetary in Bausman, Pennsylvania.[9]
