JEANNIE TERESA GRIFFIN “MISS T”
1949-2020
Miss T, at age 70, went to be with her Heavenly Father on February 20, 2020 after her nearly four years of battling ALS. She was born in Gaffney, South Carolina to her loving parents Robert
Lee Scruggs and Anne Louise Adair.
Teresa is survived by her loving family: her son Damion Logan Seabold, loving sister and brother in law Denise and Jim Sigler, brother and sister in law Roger and Carol Scruggs, nephew Michael and wife Hazel Sigler, their daughters Chloe age seven and Olivia age 3, and Teresa’s husband Edward R Griffin, Sr.
Teresa worked at the Baltimore Gas and Electric Company in Maryland prior to moving to Texas. Many of her Maryland friends continued communication with her throughout the years. In Texas she worked for, “her”, Ponderosa Volunteer Fire Department where she was the Office Manger nearly sixteen years. Teresa went from having one son to over a hundred instantly.
After her passing many of the fire fighters expressed how Teresa has always been there when their lives were in chaos, and they needed someone to listen to them, and someone to talk through their problems. The fire fighters and Teresa have a common purpose in life. They both care about other people very deeply in their times of need. Teresa is now in a better place today, and collecting the rewards for always truly caring about her family, friends, and anyone she came in contact while in this world.
