She spent almost five years in the Navy as a Hospital Corpsman attached to the Naval Medical Center in Portsmouth, Virginia.

Here she was tasked as the Burial at Sea Coordinator for the Navy Mid-Atlantic Region and was also the assistant to the Navy Morticians at NMCP. This opportunity opened the door for Theresa to be able to obtain an apprenticeship, to complete mortuary school at Norfolk State University, and eventually obtain her funeral service licenses in Virginia, North Carolina, and Michigan. She lives in Allegan and is married to Tim. They have one child. Theresa enjoys reading, spending time with family, animals, and camping.

Darrell Johnson
Care Team Member
I am originally from Kingsport, Tennessee. I graduated from Spring Lake H.S. (1987) and GVSU with a B.S. in Criminal Justice (1991).
I started with Ofield Funeral Home after retiring from the Kent County Sheriff's Department as a County Police Sergeant (Corrections) after 20 years of service. My desire to continue serving others led me to Ofield Funeral Home.
I have been married, and we have three adult Sons and a wonderful Daughter-In-Law. We eagerly await the birth of our first Grandchild (granddaughter). My family resides in the Grand Rapids area.
My interests and hobbies revolve around my family, fitness, and College Football (Go Irish and Buckeyes!).
What I love about working at Ofield is that it allows me to serve others in their time of need.
