Ann, what tremendous memories I have of your mother! She was a devoted Sunday School teacher to us in high school, always available to take us or go with us to camp, choir and band festivals, G.A.'s,or anywhere else we needed to go. Most of all, I remember what a sweet spirit and precious smile she had all the time. I will miss her.

Ann,
I was saddened to hear of your mothers passing. One of my fondest childhood memories of East Drive was growing up next to the Teafords! Your parents were wonderful people, and I cherish those memories forever.
My thoughts and prayers are with you

Mrs. Teaford was at one time my sunday school teacher. You could just look at her and see Jesus in her heart. She lived what she taught and will be greatly missed by all.
God bless all the family.
