A lifelong friendship is a beautiful gift. Teresa and I were blessed with a 40 plus year friendship. We shared many experiences, lunches, and long conversations. If I was ever faced with a proper etiquette question I would think “what would Teresa do?” and I would then know the answer.
Jeff, Teresa, Larry, and I took a vacation to Lake Tahoe. Teresa had a pinecone collection. Several years later she gifted a pinecone from that trip to Larry for his 65th birthday. It holds a special place in our home and in our hearts.
Teresa was kind. She was thoughtful. She was interested and engaged in all those she cared about. Teresa lived her life on her terms. We will miss her deeply.
May her precious soul rest in peace. Lovingly, Larry and Marilyn Belcher

Teresa was a very caring and thoughtful friend. She took me under her wing the first time I volunteered with Owasso Cares and from that day forward our friendship blossomed. Teresa was always just a phone call away anytime I needed a pep talk. Her soothing voice and kind words would make everything okay again. Even though I will miss her and our talks, I know she will still be listening any time I need.

Teresa had a beautiful voice. She spoke intelligently with a smooth, deep voice that always made you feel at ease and comfortable in the conversation. I am sure her rich lovely voice played a big role in her successful career. After retirement, I encouraged her to use her voice as a narrator or even a make a podcast. I will always remember her voice.

Teresa was special. I feel fortunate to have know her as a friend and neighbor. She was kind, caring and thoughtful. She could make you have a better day just stopping by and saying a few words when she and Jeff were out walking around the neighborhood. She was loved by so many and the world is a better place because she lived here.

Teresa was one of the most special people I have ever known. She was always a voice of reason. She had one of the kindest spirits I had ever been around. I was blessed to have her as my aunt and friend. Many of my childhood memories include her. The swims we took, the food we made, the laughs we shared. I will always remember her kind heart and her sweet voice calling me “Kels.” There are some people who will stay with you forever and she is one of them.

I worked with Teresa from 1995 until 2006. She was focused, but fun. Since we both took breaks outside, we did a lot of conversing. She was a sweet person, with a great sense of humor. The world seems a little less 'right' with this sad news. Fly high my beautiful friend.

Teresa joined our family when I was 15 years old. I was immediately drawn to her. She was well-thought and well-spoken. I was happy to see how happy she made my uncle.
One thing that always stood out to me was the honor and respect that she showed to my grandparents. When there were family functions, I always enjoyed sitting by Teresa. I will never forget the support she gave me during the most difficult season of my life. Teresa will be greatly missed.

My first acquaintance with Teresa was through her husband, Jeff. Jeff and Teresa extended a welcome when I went to work at the same place with Jeff.
Later, Teresa coordinated my trip to Rome to see my daughter while she was studying abroad. This was my first solo trip abroad. One of my initial flights was cancelled and of course, slight panic set in. Teresa was the voice of calm and reason to make sure I was able to continue on the trip without further delay. I will never forget how kind and caring and reassuring she was during that time.
Those acts of kindness extended to me from Teresa have not been forgotten. Her caring has touched many more lives. May the shared memories of Teresa bring comfort to Jeff and her family.
With sympathy and prayers, Carol Morris.

Teresa was my neighbor and friend for 25 years. I always thought she was the smartest lady! We did fun projects and walked many miles together. I knew I could count on Teresa for advice and planning and just being my friend. Teresa had lovely manners and I always hoped they would rub off on me. The neighborhood we loved will never be the same without her presence. I will miss her very much.
