Teresa F McDowell Obituary

Teresa Francine McDowell (née Kaufman), known as Terry as a child, departed this life on July 29, 2024, at the age of 75 in Mt. Morris, Illinois, the same town where she first graced the world on August 27, 1948. Often a quiet person, Teresa’s life was a testament to her enduring love for her family, her passion for movies, and her joy in discovering new places in her later years.

A graduate of Mt. Morris High School, class of 1967, Teresa found solace in her hobbies, which included watching films, traveling to new destinations, a love of food (especially fresh tomatoes in the summer and desserts!) and expressing her creativity through painting pottery and crafts.

Teresa was a dedicated member of Trinity Lutheran Church in Mt. Morris early in her life and Faith Lutheran Church in Forreston in her later years, where she found fellowship and spiritual nourishment.

She leaves behind a legacy of love and cherished memories with her family: brothers Kenneth (Lynne)and James Kaufman (Kim); sister Carol Bush (Martin); daughters Tricia Black and Tamara Wall; grandchildren Tyler (Jamie), Arika, Miranda, and Liam; and sons-in-law Stanwood Black and Christopher Wall. Teresa was predeceased by her first husband, Stanley Ubben, and her second husband, Charles McDowell; sister Mary Kaufman; sister-in-law Sue Kaufman, and her parents William and Lila Kaufman.

A memorial service to honor and remember Teresa will be held at 2 PM on August 24, 2024, at Faith Lutheran Church in Forreston, IL, with a visitation at 1pm and light refreshments following. Her memory will be held in high regard by all those whose lives she touched with her kindness, her feisty spirit, and her unwavering love for her family.

In lieu of flowers memorials to Serenity Hospice & Home.
