Teresa Ann Richard Theodore

Teresa Ann Richard Theodore, age 77, entered eternal rest on Saturday, October 4, 2025. She was born in Brooklyn, NY on October 9, 1947, to Albert J. Richard and Sophie Narcisse. Because of the untimely death of her parents, she was reared in New Orleans, LA by her paternal grandmother, Augusta Richard and then by her uncle and aunt, Lillie Luke.
In 1966 Teresa married Oscar Patrick, Jr. and from that union were born her two daughters, Chanelle and Ingrid.
After divorcing Oscar and many years had passed, she met and married Wilson Theodore, December 18, 1993.
Teresa was a certified nursing assistant and worked at Colonial Oaks Nursing Home and Mercy Hospital. Later in life, she worked at Jazz Land.
Teresa was an outgoing, fun-loving person who got along well with others and rarely met anyone she didn't like or who didn't like her. She loved to go out, have fun, listen to music and really loved dancing. She loved family gatherings and taking pictures. In fact, even during her long stay in the nursing facilities, whenever anyone visited, she was delighted and overjoyed to see new pictures of the family. Even though she wasn't able to be there physically, she still wanted to know what was happening.
She leaves to cherish her memory two daughters, Chanel Maria Patrick LeBeaux (Andrew) and Cherrie Theodore Carruthers (Tony); two stepchildren, Virginia and Yancy Theodore; five grandchildren, Jasmine, Darius, and Tharius LeBeaux, Kierra Banks Mills, and D'Ariel Banks; two great-granddaughters, Daphne Woods, and Elanna Je'Naje Miles; three sisters, Sophie Richard Taylor, Dorothy M. Richard, and Constance R. Perkins, and a host of nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Wilson Theodore; her daughter, Ingrid Teresa Patrick Banks; her parents, Albert J. Richard and Sophie Narcisse; one uncle, Joseph Luke; two aunts, Lillie Luke, and Elsie Dave..
Teresa Ann Richard Theodore, you were the light and love of the family, and you will forever be missed by us all!
