Theresa Hobbs passed away Nov. 1, 2026 after a courageous and private battle with cancer. She was surrounded by her children and those who loved her.
Theresa Marie Hobbs was born in Deer Lodge, Montana, Jan. 12, 1949 during the “Great Snowstorm of ‘49" to Thomas Francis Morgan and Mary Rita Morgan (Beck). Her father’s career with Montana Fish and Game allowed them to reside at different fish hatcheries throughout the state.
She grew up with her family in Anaconda, Emigrant and Lewistown Montana. She graduated from Fergus County High in Lewistown, Montana, in 1967. She joined the Navy after graduation and started to pursue a career of nursing. She began nursing in Livingston and Big Timber, Montana. For more than 40 years she compassionately cared for her patients.
She moved to Powell, Wyoming, in 1983 to raise her family and shortly thereafter began working at the Powell Hospital and would continue there for nearly 30 years. “Nurse Theresa” loved everyone’s children and would give the best hugs and a smile to make people feel better. She embraced all of her nursing assignments from helping deliver babies to caring for the elderly, although working in Dr. Mike Bohlman’s clinic was always her favorite.
Her greatest accomplishments and joys of life were her children and grandchildren. Her legacy left behind includes Betsy Curley (Las Vegas, Nevada), Melanie Michaels (Boise, Idaho), Mike and Marcie Hobbs (Powell), Sam and Marce Hobbs (Boxelder, South Dakota) and John Hobbs (Powell); sisters Mary Ann Randall (Missoula, Montana) and Joyce Morgan (Bonner, Montana); 15 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by her mother, father, and brother Mike. She loved gardening, growing flowers, cooking, big hugs and spending time being “Anna” to her grandchildren.
Theresa was a devout Catholic. Rosary service will be Friday, Nov. 27 at 6:30 p.m. and funeral services will be Saturday, Nov. 28 at 10 a.m at St. Barbara's Catholic Church in Powell, with a luncheon to follow. Wear purple, Theresa’s favorite color, to celebrate a life well lived!
