Kristin Teeples Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Bunker Family Funerals & Cremation - University Chapel on Sep. 26, 2025.
Kristin Kay Teeples, 63, passed away peacefully on September 16, 2025, in Mesa, Arizona.

Krissy was born in Phoenix, Arizona to loving parents, Sue and Reid Teeples, who preceded her in death. Her four older sisters – Cindy Goodman (Steve), Pauly Berrey (David), Laurie Emelity (Mick) and Nancy Hatch (Randy) – lovingly cared for her these past 15 years.

She was a peacemaker and angel in our family and will be missed by her many nieces and nephews and all who had the privilege of knowing her.

Krissy loved bowling, dancing and swimming in her earlier years. She will be remembered for her Christlike qualities of patience, forgiveness and her angelic smile. We'll fondly remember her telling each of us that, "You're my favorite" and smile as we think of her often repeated saying, "I like everything." Truly, she was without guile and the biggest blessing and bonding force in our family.

Our family is so grateful to Aegis hospice and the wonderful nurses who so lovingly cared for her these past couple of years.

Though her passing has left an empty space in our hearts, we know she is rejoicing with our parents and Savior Jesus Christ as they are reunited once again.
