Teresa Jane Madden

Teresa Jane Madden was born September 6, 1956 to Eugene and Phyllis (Kobler) Madden. She was delivered by her uncle, Dr. Carl Kobler at the Graham County Hospital in Hill City, Kansas. She passed away July 12, 2018, in Wichita, Kansas at the age of 61. Teresa had a special zest for life and enjoyed many activities. She participated in Special Olympics when she was young and was a member of the Methodist Church. She loved music and especially anything that Elvis Presley sang. Teresa made everyone feel like they were special to her but, she was diplomatic and she would never admit that anyone was her favorite. When asked which one is your favorite, she would always say “both”! She was always surrounded by a large extended family. She felt their love and returned that love full circle. Watching the Ringneck basketball teams bring home the 1970 and 1998 State championships was extra special for Teresa. After the games there were hugs and high-fives with many of the team members. She was just as excited as they were! But above all else, was Teresa’s love for Jesus. She always knew that someday she would be with Him in his heavenly kingdom. And as people of faith, we too know that she now rests in his loving Arms. Teresa was preceded in death by her father; her brother Mark Eugene and her nephew Jeffrey Mark. Leaving to mourn her passing are her mother; siblings: Patricia (Kenneth) Beran of Rose Hill, Kansas, Pamela (Gary) Werling of Gretna, Nebraska, and Kelly Madden of Wichita, Kansas. Her two special aunts: Janice Richmeier and Ida Alice Montgomery both of Hill City; nieces: Kristin (Matt) Conrad, Emily Werling, Heidi (Ben) Knapp, Shelli Werling, Brianna (Jamie) Tickel, and Danielle (Michael) McCoy; one nephew, Brock (Amy) Beran; 21 great nephews and nieces; as well as extended family members and friends.
