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 89th Texas Legislature
hereby pay tribute to the memory of Teresa Ann Bock Manning and
extend heartfelt sympathy to the members of her family: to her
children, Michael Manning and his wife, Cindy, David Manning and
his wife, Terrie, William Manning, Kathleen Manning Farrelly and
her husband, Richard, and John Manning and his wife, Sheila; to her
grandchildren, Michael, Marc, and Tiffany Williams, Matthew
Manning, Jamie Beckelman, Lauren Farrelly Searway, Megan Farrelly
Paetzold, and Haley and Ashlyn Manning; to her great-grandchildren,
Dean, Taylor, Luke, Colton, Emma, Mary Elizabeth, Anne Margaret,
and Owen; and to her many other relatives and friends; and, be it
further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for her family and that when the Texas Senate adjourns this
day, it do so in memory of Teresa Manning.
