On her marriage application to Ora, she spells her name Teshia. Her son Donnell spelled his mom's name as Teshia also.
According to Teshia's daughter in-law, Cleo Zimmerman, Teshia and Ora Zimmerman divorced when their son Donnell Zimmerman was a small boy. Donnell and his brother William went to live with their mother Teshia. Teshia met another man after the divorce and was engaged to married. Before they were married, she died of tuberculosis. Donnell was then raised by Teshia's mother and father until they died, then Teshia's brothers. William was raised by Ora's mother some of the time and also lived with his father Ora and his new wife Flossie.
The impact on Teshia's two sons was significant to say the least. They both grew up being farmed-out to various relatives. William committed suicide at the age of 49. Donnell married and had 5 children and struggled to provide his kids what he never had (family, holidays, food on the table and shoes on their feet).
Donnell always spoke fondly of his mother. Teshia left a big imprint on a son that lost her when he was only 8 years old.
