Teri was born in Timisoara Romania on November 28, 1921 to Josef and Teresa (Burian) Ott. Teresa came to the United States through Ellis Island with her parents when she was 2 years old. She grew up in Chicago and attended school there. She became a beautician and worked with her parents in their Salon in Chicago. In 1944 she met Leo Buzalsky in San Antonio, TX where he was stationed in the Army Air Force. They married and moved to the family farm in Slope County near Amidon. Later they purchased land and built their own farm and named it Butte View Farm. They had five daughters and one son.
Teri gardened, baked, sewed and helped on the farm until the girls went to high school. She then started a beauty shop in Bowman to drive the girls to high school. As her family grew, Teri was active in 4-H, Farmers Union, DemocrateNPL, Dakota Resource Council and St. Peter and Paul's Guild. After her husband died in 1976, Teri attended Dickinson State College and graduated with honors with a teaching degree in English. She taught one year at St. Gertrude's in Raleigh, ND. After that she was the Slope County Treasure for 8 years. When she retired, she moved to Bowman where she resided until 2007. She then moved to Belfield to live with her daughter until her death.
