Teresa was born to the union of Joseph and Alberta Edwards Pates on April 15, 1962 in Rosedale, Mississippi.
The family later moved to Cincinnati, Ohio, where she attended Lincoln Heights Elementary, Campbell Junior High and Aiken High School.
Teresa was preceded in death by her mother, father and 10 siblings.
She leaves to mourn her passing: three sons, Tonio, Larry and Ryan, all of Cincinnati, Ohio; seven grandchildren, all of Cincinnati, Ohio; five sisters, Rosie L. Pennington of Arlington, Texas, Lenora Stanciel of Bloomington, Illinois, Denise Olverson, Marilyn and Mary Pates of Cincinnati, Ohio; and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
Her time here on earth was spent enjoying her grandchildren, living life and always laughing and smiling. Teresa was always cracking jokes. She will be greatly missed.
