Theresa Ann Mann-Herron, 70

Our beautiful mother, Theresa Ann Mann-Herron, 70, died on Jan. 3, 2013. Her rich, full life ended in the home of her loving daughter Lisa Katchur and son-in-law Mike Katchur in Lakeside.

As a registered nurse, Lisa put all aside to see her mother through her struggle with cancer. Theresa was surrounded by family and friends as she passed.

Theresa was born Jan. 2, 1943, in Ridley Park, Pa. Her mother Theresa Mann and father Anthony Mann have gone on before her.

Theresa is survived by all of her siblings, Anthony Mann of Ohio, Joseph Mann of Pennsylvania and Rose Marie Everetts of Pennsylvania. The four of them were as close as any siblings could be. Theresa also has a loving daughter Anita Smith and son-in-law Trey Smith, who reside in Colorado. Theresa's life was made wonderful by her grandchildren, Eryn Edelen, Jonathan Marcus, Tarah and Elijah Katchur. She also enjoyed her four great-grandchildren, Daniel, Kieryn, Joshua and Levi, all living in Kalispell.

Theresa was also preceded in death by her husband, Jim Herron.

Theresa will always be remembered by anyone who knew her. She was very loving and kind, and she always saw beyond most people’s facades. She always met you where you were emotionally, and loved you unconditionally as you were. She valued family above all else. Her love for her two daughters, her grandchildren and her great-grandchildren filled her life with adventure, happiness and purpose!

“Because Theresa was so ‘present’ in all of our lives, we are rich in so many good memories! We all will carry these gratefully in our hearts from this point on!”

Memorial services for Theresa will be held at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 12, in the Johnson-Gloschat Funeral Chapel.
