Teresa J. Waggoner, 65, passed away on Tuesday, January 27, 2026, in Fort Wayne, Indiana. She was born in Decatur, Indiana to the late Richard and Marilyn Rowdon.

Teresa impacted many children as an elementary and middle school teacher for 15 years. Her favorite place to be was at the lake where she would boat, water ski, and spend time with the family. She would go out of her way to spend time with and support her husband, kids, grandkids, and siblings. Above everything, she treasured her family and friends. She will be deeply missed.

Teresa is survived by her husband of 32 years, Kenneth Waggoner; children, Roxanne (Blake) Waggoner-Lampton, Ryan (Halee) Waggoner; grandchildren, Anthony Waggoner, and Wendy Waggoner; siblings, Tami Klug, Todd Rowdon, Tonya Pollock, and Trent Rowdon.

A memorial visitation will take place on Sunday, February 1, 2026, from 3 to 5 pm located at Fairhaven Funeral Home (6557 N. Clinton Street). Memorial donations in Teresa's honor may be given to ACRES Land trust (https://acreslandtrust.org/give-now/).
