Teresa A. Marxen, 65, of Davenport, was joined in heaven with her husband, the love of her life, on Wednesday, April 27, 2022 at her home following a short yet courageous battle with brain cancer. She passed away peacefully with her family by her side.

Teresa Ann Miller was born on October 6, 1956 in Davenport, daughter of Laura (Bishop) and Donald Miller, Jr. She graduated from Davenport West High School in 1975 and later earned an Associate’s Degree. She was united in marriage to Kevin Patrick Marxen on August 14, 1982 at St. Alphonsus Catholic Church, Davenport. Teresa stayed home to raise her children before returning to work for 20 years at the West Kimberly HyVee in Davenport. She most enjoyed her time with her beloved grandchildren. Bird photography and being in nature was her passion. She will be remembered as Aunt T and T-Bone to those closest to her. Her bright smile and kind heart will be missed most. She was warrior and a strong woman.

Those left to cherish her memory are her children and their spouses: Justin (Patty) Marxen, Davenport and Amanda (Jacob) Mussmann, Princeton, Iowa; grandchildren: Caroline and Jenny Marxen and Brooks Kevin Mussmann; siblings: Peggy Miller and Bret (Patti) Miller, and her grand dogs: Bruiser and Biff.

In addition to her husband, best friend, and soul mate, Sgt. Kevin Marxen, Teresa was preceded in death by her parents, a brother, Brian Miller, and a nephew, Jeremiah Dibbern.
