Teresa "Terry" Cranford Willis, 82. Born in Macon Georgia on March 12, 1943 has passed away peacefully at home on November 24, 2025, surrounded by the love of her family.

Terry lived a life marked by sacrifice, resilience, quiet strength, and a deep devotion to the people she loved.

Loyal wife to the late Reverend Doctor James G. Willis for 57 years. Unwavering servant to her late son Benjamin "Benji" James Willis.

She is survived by her daughters Jennifer Willis, Alicia Willis Kirby, and her son-in-law Timothy Kirby. She is also remembered by her grandsons Andrew, Tyler, Aiden and her granddaughter Jenna. All held a special place in her heart.

Terry was a woman who faced every season of her life with humility and grace. She carried herself with dignity, gratitude, and warmth. To her family, she was a source of comfort, wisdom, and unconditional love.

Terry faced her final illness with courage, supported by her family with compassion. Though her passing leaves a deep ache, her family takes comfort in knowing she slipped away peacefully, held in love.

A private service will be held at Macon Memorial Park according to the family's wishes.
