Her devotion to spreading love and faith inspired those around her and brought comfort to many hearts. She found joy in her many ministries over the years and in bringing people to the Lord.

In addition to her parents, Teresa is reunited in Heaven with her sister Judy Ann Wilson-Hamner.

Teresa is survived by her devoted husband of 10 years, Jerry Temples; cherished daughter Rebekah Lynn Freeman of Cusseta, Georgia; sisters Brenda Nickerson (Robert Gott) of Cusseta, Georgia, Janice Hill of Smiths Station, Alabama, and Barbara Taylor of Columbus, Georgia.

Teresa Freeman-Temples will be dearly missed by all who knew her. May she rest in peace knowing she left behind a legacy of love and exhibited what it means to be a good and faithful servant.
