Teresa was born Jan. 11, 1971, in Union City, daughter of Alvin Lee Webb of Hornbeak and the late Wanda Diane (Thompson) Webb. She was a sergeant at the Northwest Tennessee Correctional Facilities for many years and attended Living Word Church in Hornbeak.
Teresa was a strong, fierce and independent woman whose greatest pride and purpose in life were her three daughters, Brittany, Ashley and Teresa. As a single mother, she faced many challenges and hardships, yet she met every obstacle with determination, courage and an unwavering commitment to her children. No matter what struggles she carried herself, she always made sure her girls were cared for, loved and provided for. Through her sacrifices and hard work, they never wanted for anything and always knew they were deeply loved.
Known for her strength and resilience, Teresa was the kind of woman who refused to give up when life became difficult. She was a protector, a provider, a source of comfort and a constant supporter to those she loved. Her fierce love for her family was evident in everything she did. She taught her daughters to be strong, independent and compassionate by living those values every day.
In addition to being a devoted mother, Teresa found immense joy in being a grandmother. Her six grandchildren were the light of her life, and she cherished every moment spent with them. Whether sharing stories, offering advice, spoiling them with love or simply spending time together, she created memories that will remain in their hearts forever.
Teresa also shared a special bond with her beloved fiancé, Mark Watson. His love, companionship and support brought her comfort and happiness, and together they built a relationship rooted in loyalty, friendship and devotion.
Teresa is survived by her loving fiancé, Mark Watson; her three beloved daughters, Brittany, Ashley and Teresa; her six cherished grandchildren; and many family members and friends whose lives were forever touched by her strength, generosity and love.
While her family grieves the loss of an extraordinary woman, they also celebrate a life defined by perseverance, sacrifice and unconditional love. Teresa’s legacy lives on in her daughters, her grandchildren and all those fortunate enough to have known her.
She was a loving mother, a proud grandmother, a devoted fiancée and a loyal friend. Above all, she was the heart of her family. Her strength carried them through difficult times, her love held them together, and her memory will continue to guide them in the years ahead.
She was also preceded in death by her grandson, Dallas Readenour; one brother, Mike Webb; and one sister, Kristi Cook.
Teresa Readenour will be deeply missed, forever loved and never forgotten.
