Theresa Dianne Danielson
Wimann, age 60, of Baraboo, passed away on Tuesday, May 7, 2019 at Rock Haven
Nursing Home in Janesville. Theresa was born on Nov. 16, 1958 to Dianne
Margaret (Lundstrom) Danielson and Dennis Morlin Danielson in Duluth, Minnesota.
Growing up she moved from Lincoln, Nebraska; Madison, WI; and finally
Janesville, WI where she graduated from J. A. Craig High School in 1976. She received her bachelor’s
of the Arts from Augsburg University, her education certification from
UW-Whitewater, and master’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction Reading from
UW-Madison. Theresa retired from UW-Extension Adams County. She married the love of
her life, Bruce Corbin Wimann on Feb. 22, 1992 with whom she shared a life and
a library full of adventures. Together, they were devoted in their faith,
family, friendships and shared an unstoppable curiosity. Her unfailing love
found her Bruce’s final year as he battled with prostate cancer. Theresa spent her spare
time with her rescue dogs, particularly her English Springer Spaniels, pursuing
crafts of all kinds, gardening and genealogy. She loved spending time outdoors,
keeping her hands and mind busy, and getting into trouble with her friends. Theresa spent the last two
years on a journey with a rare demyelinating autoimmune disease that was as
novel as the mysteries that filled her shelves. She passed peacefully surrounded
by her family on May 7, 2019 in Janesville. She is survived by her
English Springer Spaniel, Miss Belle Pepper; a sister, Denise (David) Wimann; a
brother, Robert (Anna) Danielson, all of Janesville; a sister-in-law, Cindy
(Jim) Grey of Madison; two nephews, Dennis and Dan Wimann of Wisconsin Dells;
and a niece, Dayna Wimann of Janesville. Also surviving are numerous extended
family members and close friends. Theresa was preceded in
death by her husband, Bruce; her parents and her mother and father in law. Memorial services will
be held at 11 a.m. on Friday, May 17, 2019 at St. Paul's Lutheran Church,
Baraboo, with Pastor Karen Hofstad officiating. Visitation will take place at
the church on Friday from 10:30 a.m. until time of service. Inurnment will be in
Newport Cemetery, Wisconsin Dells, following the service. In lieu of flowers,
memorials may be made to the English Springer Rescue Association. The family would like to
extend a special thank you to Rock Haven in Janesville, Agrace Hospice, and her
neurologist, Dr. Shaun Shaker for the wonderful care given to Theresa. A
special thank you would also like to be extended to Miss Belle Pepper’s new
forever home, Tim, Michelle and Kamron. Baldwin Funeral Services,
