June 1, 1946 in Baltimore, Maryland. She was the oldest of
eight (8) children. Affectionately known as "Tree," Teresa
departed this earthly life on July 15,2018 at St. Agnes Hospital.

Teresa was educated in the Baltimore City Public School System.

High School. After graduation, she sought employment with Montgomery

In 1994, Teresa met her partner of 24 years, John Pitchford (Johnny).

Although Teresa had no children of her own, she was "Mother" to many.
Teresa was feisty, outspoken, and straightforward but also generous and
kind. She would always tell her nieces and nephews to "stick together.
" Teresa could talk to anyone, both young and old. It was nothing for her
to pick up the phone and call you, just to say " You know I Lov e You !"

in Edmondson Village for stopping to talk to friends and neighbors on her
daily walks to play the lottery and to get scratch-offs. She loved to play her
numbers and enjoyed day trips "up the road." She loved the simple things
in life, like sitting on thefront porch in the mornings and" long telephone
conversations. If you didanything for her, Teresa would reply
" Thank You , I'll dan ce at your w e dding. "
