Teegen was born on July 15, 2016 in Cresco, Iowa, to Sheil and Patti (Mann) Courtney. Teegen was the love of her family’s life. She could be found outside playing with kitties, enjoying the swing set with her siblings, and digging in the sandbox while boasting the most radiant smile. Teegen spent endless hours reading books, coloring, and putting puzzles together. Her favorite character was Minnie Mouse and she would often be seen sporting her Minnie Mouse gear around the house. She had a sucker in her hand any chance she got. Teegen loved chewing gum with her brother and sister. She enjoyed having ice cream with Grandma and Grandpa at the farm.
One of her best characteristics was her tremendous appetite at meal times. Her mom and dad would often find her cleaning up her sibling’s plates when needed. Her favorite food was taco meat and it was often a battle to keep her from eating the entire pan. She enjoyed her morning coffee with her mom on their way to daycare. Teegen had a huge hug for everyone she encountered and gave the most amazing kisses. Grandpa Courtney remembers, “Her hugs were always filled with so much love.”
Teegen is survived by her parents, Sheil and Patti Courtney of Ridgeway; her sister Anelise, her brother Louis and baby Courtney in May 2019. Her grandparents, Michelle Mann, Ridgeway, IA; Pete Mann, Quinter, KS; and Louie and Pat Courtney, Ridgeway, IA. Great Grandpa Robert Teff, Lansing, IA and Great Grandma Jeanne Mann, Quinter, KS.
