|
|
WHEREAS, Family and friends are mourning the loss of Teresa |
|
Ann Bock Manning, who passed away on September 30, 2024, at the |
|
age of 92; and |
|
WHEREAS, The daughter of William and Kathryn Koppy Bock, |
|
the former Teresa Bock was born on January 31, 1932, in Roscoe, |
|
Minnesota, and she grew up with the companionship of three older |
|
siblings, Edward, Theodore, and Donna; in 1952, she married the |
|
love of her life, Laurence "Mick" Manning, and they went on to |
|
share more than five decades together; three weeks after their |
|
wedding, Mr. Manning was deployed to serve in the Korean War as a |
|
member of the U.S. Air Force; when he returned, the couple bought |
|
their first house in Roseville, Minnesota; they were blessed with |
|
six children, Mike, Dave, Bill, Kathy, Don, and John, and their |
|
family eventually grew to include nine grandchildren and eight |
|
great-grandchildren; and |
|
WHEREAS, When Mr. Manning was discharged from the |
|
military, the family moved to Fort Worth in 1967 to be closer to |
|
Mrs. Manning's brother, Ed; after spending two decades as a |
|
devoted homemaker, she enrolled in the nursing program at Harris |
|
Hospital, receiving her licensed vocational nurse license in |
|
1974 and registered nurse license in 1982; and |
|
WHEREAS, In their later years, Mr. and Mrs. Manning |
|
retired to a home on Lake Granbury, and they traveled in their |
|
motor home, spending summers in Minnesota with friends and |
|
family; following Mr. Manning's passing in 2003, Mrs. Manning |
|
lived with her sister, Donna, in Benbrook for many years; and |
|
WHEREAS, Teresa Manning led a full and generous life |
|
surrounded by those she loved, and they will forever carry her |
|
close in their hearts; now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 89th |
