Teresa Ann Branche, daughter of the late Archie Branche Sr. and Clara Lee (Stokes), was born on May 12, 1958. She departed this earthly life on Sunday, December 24, 2017 after a lengthy illness shortly after accepting the Lord Jesus Christ as her savior.

Teresa, affectionately known as Ms. Tee, was educated in the Baltimore City Schools System. She attended Robert E. Elliott Elementary School and Houston Wood #181 Jr/Sr High School.

Teresa, in her early years, worked at Operation Champ after which she became the owner/operator of her in-home child daycare. Teresa cared for· numerous infant to toddler aged kids that have grown older with very fond memories of her loving care.

Teresa was the life of any given party. She came, showed up and showed out. Teresa loved to cook, party, listen to music and welcome others to her home. The Cake Lady, as she was known to many, would whip that batter and pat them pots in a heartbeat. Your hot cooked meal was just a call away.

Teresa leaves behind two daughters: Laverne (Timothy) Crawford and Tyreeca Scott "Baby", her twin sister Doretha Branche "Pitty" and oldest sister Julia Rivers, two brothers, Archie Lee Branche Jr. "Sonny" and William Johnson "Bruh" (Richmond, Va.) with two brothers who preceded her in death: Hufus Branche and William Branche "Sykes" (Regina), five grandchildren: Kierra "Woonk-Woonk", Byron "Lover Boy", Tyreesha "Booga", Kyisha "Sally Wally", Wayne "Charlie "Brown" ... with one more on the way, one uncle, two aunts, two very close friends: Ms. Mae "Helen" and Ms. Delores, four Godchil- dren: Shantez Purvis "Tee", Tierra Scott, Mylea Holman "Woonk" and Tenaire Carey "Tee/ Shorty Reds" and her ole time favorite, cousin Randy (Blackstone, Va.). Teresa also had a host of nieces and nephews that clung to her like she was there own. And lets not forget the extended family and friends both near and far.

You know who you are when you heard Teresa calling ... to name a few just for fun here you go: Lucy, Flava, CoCo, Joseph, Queen, George, Boy-Boy, Home- boy, Fat Boy and Dirt. This list could go on and on but y'all know that already.
