For the past 35 years, Teresa made her home in Kessler alongside her husband and love of her life, Marvin "Buddy" Hedrick. Their family home became the heart of countless cherished memories-from fishing in the pond built by family hands, to Sunday mornings filled with the smell of a home-cooked breakfast. Teresa's kitchen was always a place of warmth and comfort, where her famous cornbread and biscuits brought everyone together. Several people around town knew Teresa for being the" handy place" biscuit lady.

She was a proud and devoted mother to Leonard Hedrick (Mariah Blankenship) and Carla Hedrick (Anthony Martin), Teresa was the most loving and devoted grandmother to Gaige, Paislee, Lakyn, and Colton Hedrick, and Dixie Harmon. Teresa lived for her grandchildren-if there was a parade, holiday event, or yard sale going on, you could count on her being there, hand-in-hand with them, making memories. One of the things that brought the most joy to Mrs. Teresa was making memories on the banks of the greenbrier county river with her sister kids and grandkids.

If you knew Teresa, you knew her for her kind heart, her giving spirit, and her unforgettable cooking. She had a special gift for making people feel welcome and loved, no matter who they were or what they were going through. She put others before herself, always offering help, a smile, or a warm meal--even when she didn't feel well.

Teresa could always be known for her trendy outfits and jewelry if you compliment on her outfit she was quick to let you know she found it on a bargain. Yard sales and bargain hunting were some of her favorite pastimes if you seen a yard sale Teresa was there, She did her best to make sure that her kids and grandkids had everything they needed and wanted. -yard sailing wasn't only about the bargains for Teresa it was about the joy of running into old friends and family members, the chitchat with her girlfriends, and the laughter that always followed her around.

She didn't need fancy things to be happy-just her family, her home, and the simple pleasures of life were enough for her.

Teresa was a hard worker she worked hard and helped others out her entire life and was still working up until her passing. She was a strong, dedicated woman who took pride in her hard work and her family. Every Sunday for years, she would cook a big breakfast where everyone gathered to eat, talk, and just be together-traditions that will live on in the hearts of those who loved her forever. The family is heartbroken about her passing but she gave them so much love and dedication that they know they will carry her with them in their hearts forever she was a wife, mother , and grandmother that is just hard to ever be forgotten the family is so thankful for all the love she has given them and appreciates every single thing she has ever done for them. They know they were blessed with a one of a kind and will miss her dearly.

She is survived by her loving husband, Marvin "Buddy" Hedrick; her children, Leonard Hedrick (Mariah Blankenship) and Carla Hedrick (Anthony Martin); her grandchildren, Gaige, Paislee, Lakyn, Colton, and Dixie; her sister, Wanda Morgan; and several brothers- and sisters-in-law whom she loved like her own.

She was preceded in death by her grandparents, Stella and Loften Pitsenbarger; her mother, Anna Volene Pitsenbarger; her mother-in-law, Gladys Carol Gibson; her sister, Charlotte Anderson; and many other dear relatives whose memories she carried close to her heart.

Teresa leaves behind a legacy of love, strength, and selflessness. Her family will miss her deeply, but they take comfort in knowing they were blessed to be loved by her. The memories she made and the love she gave will remain forever in their hearts.
