Teena was known to her family and friends as the most family oriented person alive. More than anything, she had so much love for her family, especially her grandchildren. Teena was “the best cook in the world,” as her family would say. She was always such a hard-working wife, mother, grandmother, and friend. If Teena had it and you needed or wanted it, then you had it; that is just how truly wonderful she was. She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.
A Celebration of Teena’s Life will be held on Saturday, November 7, 2026, at New Life Fellowship Church, 2167 US Hwy 49 South, Mendenhall, MS 39114, at 2:00 PM.
