Theresa Christine Meek Long, born on May 2, 1957, in Jacksonville, Florida went to her eternal home on February 11, 2026, at her home after a hard fought brief illness. She was a long time resident of Belmore and graduated from KHHS in 1975.
Theresa was a shining light in the lives of all who had the privilege of knowing her. Her journey on this earth was one marked by love and a distinct way of making everyone feel like one of her own with numerous nicknames across many diverse groups of people – Fish, Mama T, MiMi, Trese, Seester and many more. Theresa loved all music from Southern Rock to Sunday Morning Hymns that she sang every lyric to until her very last breath. Her passing has left a void in the hearts of her family, friends, and many more whose lives were touched by her beautiful light. We ask that you remember her in the special ways her life was lived and the profound impact she had on the lives of those who had the pleasure of knowing her. Theresa is survived by her loving husband Curtis Woodrow “Woody” Long; Children: Jeff Hall, Erin Sewell (Sammy), Adam Hall, Sara Hall, Tara Busbee (Brandan), Dakota Tate (Dee) and Allen Tate (Nadia), Meichelle Long (Susan); Sisters: Rebecca “Becki” Smith and Charity “Chatty” Emmons; Grandchildren: Kali Rae Hall (JaQuez), Aedan Callahan (Alyssa), Riley Tetstone, Addasyn Hall, Adam Hall Jr, Jaiden Hall, Kaydin Hall, Brooklyn Tootle, Landen Tootle, Brayden Tootle, Knox Busbee ,Oxley Tate, Emmer Tate, Ezra Tate, Arkham Tate; Great Grandchildren: Kaliah Hendrieth, Zakai Tate and many nieces, nephews and extended family.
Theresa was predeceased by her parents, John W. Meek and Gloria Meek and her brothers John “Jack” Meek and Timothy “Tim” Meek.
Although Theresa physical presence may no longer grace our lives, her spirit will continue to inspire and uplift us. May her memory be a blessing and carry forth her legacy of unconditional love.
Crevasse’s Simple Cremation is honored to serve the Long family.

Belmore was a place I ran to many times when my impetuous spirit was seeming to overwhelm me. Gloria and her family welcomed me each time I “ran away “ and my Mom has told me each time Gloria would call her and let her know I was there safe with my second family.
To say I was infatuated with beautiful Theresa then would be an understatement. Beautiful, funny, sweet and patient are just a few of the qualities that made her special then and continued for our lifetimes.
I learned so much about life from my Meeks family. Chief among them was the power of love above all things our material world tells us are important.
Heaven has gotten a little brighter and if I look hard enough I’m sure I’ll find a new star in the sky that lets me know my sister is up there sending her love and support.
I will miss her and never forget that beautiful smile.
Rest in Peace Theresa
I am deeply grateful for the way she loved and took care of my dad, and I know how much she adored her children and grandchildren. She will be missed.
