Teresa had a long fulfilling life. She was very creative and could do almost anything she put her mind to. She spent a lot of her time making crafts. She enjoyed sewing, quilting, beadwork, and much more. Teresa also enjoyed cooking; she cooked many amazing meals for her family and was especially known for making her special Christmas candies during the holidays for her family to enjoy. Teresa worked at Billy Faulkenberry’s for many years, where she was able to put her creative talents to use. Teresa loved her family very much. She touched the lives of many and will be dearly missed.
Graveside service will be held at a later date, which we will post on social media, where all friends and family can see, and will be more than welcome to attend. Cremation arrangements were under the direction of Yarber Mortuary, Winona, Missouri.
