Teresa Ann Mills, 56, left this world on April 22, 2025, leaving behind a legacy of warmth, compassion, and an undeniable zest for life.

She found joy in the simplest pleasures—riding on the back of a motorcycle with the wind in her hair, spending time with loved ones at U.S. Pizza, and sharing laughter over a few drinks with her sisters and friends. Teresa especially cherished her Friday evening dinners with her son, moments she held close to her heart.

A natural caregiver and loyal friend, Teresa was always there for others, often showing up before she was even asked. Her generosity and kindness touched countless lives.

Professionally, Teresa built a successful career in the title and lending industry, dedicating over 25 years to her work with diligence and pride.

Though she rarely spoke about her faith and did not attend church, Teresa had a deep and personal connection with the Lord—one that was meaningful in her own unique way.

She is survived by her son, Joshua Mills; her parents, Fred and Gail Fisher;  her sisters, Desiree (Mike) Lytle, and Angela Scott; and several beloved nieces and nephews.

Teresa was a treasure to all who knew her, and her vibrant spirit will be dearly missed.
