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.

  1. Thank you for all the loving childhood memories of staying with you and Grandma Gloria during the summers. Those moments will always hold a special place in my heart.

  2. Our hearts are heavy. Teresa was a beautiful woman with a great heart. She’ll be missed by everyone. Fly high Mama T. 🌹

  3. Theresa was like my little sister, her sister Becki and I have been friends a long time. I can’t really put into words how her passing has affected me. I will miss her so much!! 🥲❤️

  4. My best friend in school and many more years. Wish I could have had more time, but she knew I loved her and will see her on the other side the best side. Her last text to me.

    • Time is a theif in the night! Theresa was a firecracker with biggest heart ever and always had a smile that would light up the room! My favorite times was around the bonfire with my parents and her she get that tambourine and they played banjos and guitars we danced under the stars! I will forever cherish the memories we made over 30 years she and Woody were family to us! I saw her just few months back she gave the biggest hug with tear of happiness to see me. Theresa I love you Mama T your wings were ready but our hearts were not! Love you

  5. You don’t always realise the treasures God brings into your life especially when you’re young and dumb and trying to find your way in this crazy world of ours.
    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.

  6. So sorry for your loss. Holding your family in my heart and prayers during this difficult time. Love you Erin and always here for you. <3

  7. I feel so lucky to have called Theresa ‘T’ not just family, but a friend. I’ll always cherish our long talks and the many stories she shared—she had a gift for making everyone feel included.

    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.
