To all of Theresaâ€™s family ~ you have my sincere condolences. I just found out the news yesterday about her passing. She was a dear childhood friend and I always loved seeing her in later years. She was a dear soul with a heart of gold. 
Much love,
Cheri Rakosy Maatz

I feel very blessed that Theresa chose me to provide her eye care for so many years.  She was an amazing lady who dearly  loved her family and her students.  She was strong, and wise, and giving.  My day was always brighter after a visit with Theresa.  She was one of those special people who touched so many lives and made the world a better place for us all. Prayers for peace and comfort for her family and friends.  She will be missed by so many.

Sending condolences to your family.  I don't know if you  remember taking in two grieving girls in the summer of 1973, but I will never forget your family.  I remember Theresa as a very kind young lady.   I'm sure that she was an awesome teacher.

I first met Theresa as my sons teacher.  I understood immediately why my sons thought of her as their favorite teacher.  I was fortunate enough to get to know her on a personal level.  Theresa was selfless and so kind.  I'm so glad I was able to get to know her better.   Anyone who knew Theresa is feeling her loss.  I would like to offer my deepest sympathy to the entire Hahn family.  I will remember you in my prayers as you go through this very difficult time.

Theresa was more than a friend, she was family, and a member that will truly be missed. Our condolences and prayers to the entire Hahn family.

So sorry to hear of Theresa's death.   The loss of a childhood friend reminds me one more time that every moment is precious.  The joy of catching up on social media was a gift, as was her life.  So sorry for your loss.  May you find joy in memories.

Theresa exemplified selflessness, compassion and devotion.  I was blessed to be able to witness her ability to communicate with students on a daily.  She had a gift of helping struggling students find their way back from a path they thought was hopeless.  She never allowed them to give up and showed students how much she believed in them.  She empowered them and instilled in them a sense of confidence.  Students felt heard and accepted and most importantly, with out a doubt, they knew she cared for them.  I was able to witness the power of her eyes as she spoke with students.  She would always look into a struggling student's eyes with compassion and truly make them feel as if they were the most important person in the world.   Miss you dearly Theresa.

She was such a caring person, I had her in my sophomore year for study hall last year. She truly was such a treasure, such an amazing teacher. My mother passed in 2022 and I remember her giving me something to put on my mom's shrine. She'd always check up on me and see how everything was going. She was the kind of person you could go up to and talk to her about literally anything. One of the best teachers I've ever had, I was in shock when I heard the news. May you rest in peace, you'll be greatly missed, Mrs. Hahn.

ms hahn left a mark everywhere she went. she truly went above and beyond for all of her students and never failed to make everyone feel like family. she will be missed dearly.

Ms. Hahn was a great teacher. My sister and I had her for some classes and were always so excited to see her and share stories with her. So many laughs were shared. She will be missed.

Mrs. Hahn kept me going. I was a student at the time struggling with much more than just my academics. Mrs. Hahn never failed to make me feel important. I will truly miss this beautiful soul.

mrs hahn really kept my spirits high. she told me one time to â€œkeep my head up to see where iâ€™m goingâ€ and i really laughed it off as her telling me to be more attentive to my direction, but i now realize she was referring to seeing where iâ€™ll be going in my future. she was the most genuine person i think iâ€™ve ever met. she changed so many students lives, mine included, and i hadnâ€™t even had her as a teacher. she always treated every student as her own and made everyone feel so good about themselves. she touched not only the lives but also the souls of everyone she met. she will be forever remembered.

She made math a subject I donâ€™t naturally enjoy, enjoyableâ€¦ not only did she teach my sisters and I but also my nephews  and niece over 20 years , our family greatly benefited from her kindness and intelligence, and I am forever grateful for her existence

Theresa will be remembered lovingly by all who knew her. I loved her laugh and her positive attitude.

Ms. Hahn was a great friend, mentor and teacher. As a first year teacher Ms. Hahn made me feel welcome and was always there if I needed anything. She loved her family and her students. She was a teacher that truly treated students as if they were her own children. She will be missed by so many.
