Heather Lynn O’Brien (Teegarden), 45, of White Bear Lake passed away unexpectedly.
She was born in St. Paul, Minnesota, on July 16, 1971 to parents Keith and Doris Teegarden. She married Michael O’Brien on June 22, 1996.
Heather is survived by parents Keith and Doris Teegarden of White Bear Lake; husband Mike O’Brien of White Bear Lake; sons, Zach and Alex, and daughter, Rachel; sister, Jennifer Teegarden of Richfield, and brother, Ryan Teegarden, of Woodbury; and aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, and nephew.
Heather graduated from White Bear Lake High School in 1989. She graduated from the University of Minnesota with a Bachelor’s of Science in Chemical Engineering in 1994. Heather and Mike met in college and forged a life together.
She dedicated herself to her family, the rights of special needs children, and rescued dogs. Heather was a caring daughter, sister, wife, mother, and friend. She was a great listener and helper, and could easily hold a conversation with someone she just met. Heather’s smile lit up a room. The world is now dimmer without her.
