Teoné's life was a beautiful canvas painted with love, strength, and courage, which she fearlessly displayed until the very end. Though her time here was cut short the memories of her beautiful smile and sweet humble spirit will live on in the hearts and minds of those whose lives were affected by just knowing her. "Nugget", as she was lovingly called by her Granny Agnes, will continue to be remembered through her three sons she blessed us with. She fought diligently to provide a promising future for her children. They will carry testimony of undying love for them.
