I worked with Teresa at Rex for a very long time. She was so kind and sweet to everyone! She helped many moms and families get off to a great start after delivering their babies. She was a beautiful example of what it meant to be a nurse. Prayers for her family.

Teresa was a beautiful, kind and very thoughtful person. Always saying a kind word or sharing a funny story. We use to have the best times as children playing at our grandmother Woodard's farm. I can remember building hay forts in the barn, or hanging on to vines to swing over gullies in the woods. But best yet, Teresa loved grandma Woodard's chocolate pecan pie! Teresa - you will be missed, loved and always remembered! Another angel in heaven 💖

Teresa was one of the sweetest people I have ever known. She was always soft spoken and always had a smile on her face. She was definitely an Angel in her own right. I am sure she touched many lives with her kind loving soul. Love you Teresa❤️
