Theresa Lynn Guyer died unexpectedly at 54 years old on November 26 at Sutter Roseville Medical Center. She was born June 17, 1968 in Garberville to Otto Paul Burgi and Sonja Louise (Engen) Burgi.

Theresa spent most of her life living in Humboldt County. After losing her parents at a young age, she was taken in by David and Kathy Walters until she started a family of her own. Theresa had four children with Lee Conoboy and although they had separated, they were supportive in raising their kids. Her children were her world and before long, her grandkids were. Theresa had so much love for her family and close friends. In 2015, Theresa was married to Edward Guyer Sr. of Hoopa. She lived happily, making wonderful memories with her family. In 2019, after her husband lost his battle with cancer, she moved to Klamath near her sister and brother.

Theresa had worked hard all her life. She held several job titles, including baker, cashier, caregiver, and more. She had mostly enjoyed spending time volunteering at the Humboldt County Coroner’s Office, acquiring the experience of an autopsy technician. Theresa was fond of the officers she worked with. She always had an inner detective and a nose for news.

Theresa is preceded in death by her parents, Otto and Sonja Burgi, her husband Ed Guyer Sr., and her adopted father David Walters Sr. She is survived by her daughters Natasha and husband Anthony of Willow Creek, Tanya and her husband Ken of Modesto, and Tonya and partner Craig of Eureka, and her son Kevin of Porterville, her 12x grandchildren, her sister Anna and husband Dennis of Klamath, her brothers Paul of LA and Michael of Klamath, her adopted mother Kathy and husband Ruckman of Modesto, her sister Kimmy of Modesto, and brother David of Modesto.
