Theresa Catherine Dingman

Theresa C. Dingman was born in Brooklyn, New York on April 30, 1938 to Frank Lanzante of Caserta, Italy, and Marie Bruno of Brooklyn, New York. She married Herbert Dingman and they eventually settled in Barstow, California. Theresa was a successful businesswoman, operating her H & R Block franchise and her bookkeeping business for over 50 years. Theresa used her success to support many organizations and causes in Barstow. Her generous spirit knew no bounds, and she loved helping her family and other people, her parish Mt. St. Joseph’s, and her town. She enjoyed spending time with her family, often taking her grandchildren and great grandchildren on vacation to theme parks, especially Disneyland. As a devout, life-long Catholic, Theresa was the epitome of charity, forgiveness, and unconditional love, and she was the hardest-working person any of us knew. Her family, friends, and community will miss her immensely. Theresa is preceded in death by her parents Frank Lanzante and Maria Bruno Cundella; her husband Herbert Dingman; her son Terry Dingman; her sister Joann White; and her brothers Frankie and Alex Lanzante. She is survived by her siblings Ana Lanzante and Orlando Lanzante; her children Jean Dingman, Pamela Dingman, Herbert Dingman, and John Dingman; her grandchildren Steven Dingman, Julie Schiele, Kevin Dingman, Matthew Dingman, Paul Reeck, Jamie Dingman, John Angelo Dingman, Theresa Markowtiz, Andrew Dingman, Jessica Dingman, Justin Reeck, Cory Upperman, David Campbell, Charles Ruble, Amanda Soto, Pamela Kepley, James Soto, and Tristin Kepley; and great grandchildren Jayson Schiele, Jessica Lucero, Titus Dingman, Seth Markowitz, Lucas Reeck, Gavin Reeck, Caleb Reeck, Jessi Upperman, Faith Upperman, Jordan Dingman, Leilani Dingman Cox, Mia Dingman, Ishia Dingman, Andrew Dingman Jr., Hunter Dingman, Tyler Ruble, Justin Ruble, Raelynn Ruble, Jalleena Thompson, Terelyn Thompson, Jordan Thompson, Franckie Dingman, and Daniel Dingman; as well as nieces Debbie Giambra and Donna Hancock, and nephews, and many friends.
