Theresa Marie Blevins, 64, passed away on Tuesday, July 15, 2025, at Carrington Place in Wytheville, VA.
Born and raised in Marion, she was the daughter of the late William and Janice Webb Carter. She was also preceded in death by her loving husband, Ronnie Blevins, and her brother, Billy Carter. Theresa spent 23 years working as a registered nurse at the SWVA Mental Health Institute, where she poured her heart into caring for others. She was full of life and always on the go—whether cruising the open sea, soaking up the sun at the beach, or laughing until it hurt with her closest friends and dearest family.
But if you knew Theresa, you knew her biggest joy in life was being “Nonnie.” Her grandbabies—June, Thea, and Jameson—were her entire world. She spoiled them every chance she got, from sweet surprises to unforgettable family vacations to Disney World and Hershey Park. She made sure their lives were full of wonder, fun, and love. There truly wasn’t anything she wouldn’t do to brighten their days and fill their hearts.
Theresa is survived by her son Bradley Blevins & Jeanna Anderson; grandchildren June, Thea, and Jameson; brother Steven Carter & wife Alice; sisters Barbara Simpkins and Rose Carter; brother-in-law Gary Blevins; special nephew Josh Carter & wife Jeri and their children Cole & Jaxxon; as well as many nieces, nephews, and friends. Among those who visited often and shared precious time with her in her final days were Rebecca, Charlotte, Lisa, Terri, and others whose presence brought comfort and love.
A celebration of Theresa’s life will be held later this fall. If you'd like to share a memory or send your love, visit the family at www.bradleysfh.com. Bradley’s Funeral Home of Marion is honored to serve the Blevins family.

Theresa was one of the best nurses I ever knew & seeing her at work always brightened up my day. She was always so supportive and was always a shoulder to cry on when I needed it. Theresa was one of a kind and her legacy will always be remembered. She is with her beloved husband again and is happier and healthier than ever.❤

Theresa and I had worked side by side since 2010 until she retired last year. I was happy for her to be able to retire. It just wasn't long enough. Life is precious, a gift, but unpredictable. May she rest in peace with Ronnie. Prayers for her family and all that knew her. ❤
