Teresa Hale Obituary

Visit the Swearingen Funeral Home - Seminole website to view the full obituary.

Teresa Lynn Hale, 64, passed away on September 12, 2025. Teresa was born in Seminole, Oklahoma. She is survived by her daughter, Jennifer Kahrs, and grandson, William Niles Cole, of South Carolina. Her parents, both deceased, were Fred Hale and Kathleen Renaud. Surviving siblings are Rodney Hale, Regina Hale, Angela Kinnard, and James Franklin. Her nephews and nieces are Clayton Hale, Kelton Hale, Joey Beene, Haley Kinnard, and Makenzie Kinnard.

Anyone that knew Teresa has heard her laugh. She loved to laugh at herself and laugh with others. She also loved music and art. If there was ever a moment of silence, Teresa would turn on the radio to hear a song. One of her favorite bands was Journey. Her favorite pastime was using bright colors to draw.

Although she never owned much, she always wanted to share what she had. You couldn’t visit her without leaving with a gift. If she won a prize playing bingo, she would save it to give away. Her excitement was never greater than when she heard good news about her nieces and nephews’ sporting events and plays or how smart her grandson is.

Graveside services will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, September 20, 2025 at Little Cemetery.
