Our beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend, Teresa Ann (Koon) Mann, passed away in peace with her family by her side on September 4, 2024 at the age of 80 in Mesa, Arizona.
Teresa was born on January 12, 1944 in Steubenville, Ohio, the daughter of Raymond and Maxine Koon. She married Jimmie A Mann on June 8, 1963 in Manhattan, Kansas at Seven Dolors Catholic Church. They lovingly adopted two children, Leslie and Kevin.
Teresa and Jimmie moved to Loveland, Colorado in August 1970, where they had successful careers, raised their family and thoroughly enjoyed all of the joys of the mountains of Colorado. They then moved back to Kansas to devote time to caring for their parents. In later years, they moved to Mesa, Arizona to be near family. Teresa enjoyed successful careers with Hewlett Packard and Ebert Mayo Design Group.
Teresa was a true friend, peacekeeper and a blessing of wisdom and comfort. She walked through life with a gentle strength and determination, touching the lives of those she encountered. She was often at Jimmie’s side as a dance partner, chef, mountain enthusiast, or taking on home improvement projects. She was always up for the tasks and adventures. She leaves behind a legacy of spirit, grace, devotion and love.
Teresa will be forever remembered and cherished by her husband of 61 years, Jimmie Mann, her children; Kevin and Leslie, her grandchildren; Teresa B, Alexandra, Zachary, Elizabeth, Jacob and Cecilia; her siblings Janet Morris and Mary Kay Dollar. She was predeceased in death by her parents; Raymond and Maxine Koon, and her siblings Charlene Rogers and Raymond Koon.
To commemorate her beautiful journey and to celebrate the love she spread, a graveside memorial service will be held in her honor at Sunrise Cemetery in Manhattan, Kansas on Friday, September 20, 2024 at 11:00 am. We appreciate all who join us in person or spirit in remembering a truly remarkable woman.
