Teresa worked for Howard County for 38 years retiring as county treasurer October 2017. During her life she found a love of many things, including taxidermy, house flipping, arts and crafts, gardening, piano, traveling, cooking, country dancing, animals, and gospel music.

Teresa was a lifelong member of the Big Spring First Church of the Nazarene, where she sang in the choir, painted scenes for the nativity and murals in classrooms.
