Theresa Lynn Northouse

Theresa Northouse, age 62, beloved wife, mother, and cherished friend, died on Tuesday, November 4, 2025. Theresa was a lifelong resident of the Stockton and Winona area.

Theresa was born on July 27, 1963, in Winona, MN, to Harold and Caroline (Paradise) Riemann. Theresa graduated from Winona Senior High School and dedicated her professional life to Benchmark Electronics, where she worked for 35 years, since 1990. 

Known affectionately as the "Tchotchke Queen," Theresa embraced all things whimsical, collecting both little and big treasures that brought joy to her home. She had a special affinity for owls and dragonflies. Her love extended beyond objects to her four beloved pets—Gemma, Lexi, Miss Betty, and Bitz—who were like family to her. 

Theresa took pleasure in life's simple joys, often seen riding her golf cart around town, especially when her son, Jordan, would drive so that she could savor a margarita. Jordan, born in 2005, was the light of her life. 

Theresa is survived by her husband of 29.5 years, Kevin; son, Jordan; sister, Melanie (Roger) Brand; sister-in-law, Margo; special niece, Jennifer Feine; many other nieces and nephews; and lifelong friends, Dawn, Peggy, Christine, Nancy, and Denise.

Theresa was preceded in death by her parents; and siblings, Mike and Patricia.

A memorial service will be held on Saturday, November 15, 2025, at 5pm at Hoff Celebration of Life Center (3480 Service Dr. Winona, MN) with visitation beginning at 3pm.

We look forward to seeing Theresa with Jesus in the resurrection.
