Ms. Theresa Sue Parham

On November 7, 2025, Theresa Sue Parham, Mother, Daughter and Sister, passed away at the age of 61 years.

Theresa was preceded in death by her mother, Pansy Henry. Theresa is survived and missed by her loving daughter Briana Parham; father, Ronald Parham and step-mother Sandra Parham; brother, Randy Parham (Jackie); sister, Paula Klinzing; nephews; Brandon Parham (Meg), Derek Parham, Brent Klinzing; nieces, Morgan Shell (Brock), Emily Parham, Subi Parham; and her "furry grand-kittens" – Athena and Marshmallow – who were a constant source of laughter and cuddles.

Theresa was born in Joliet, Illinois. Since then, she moved to many different places including Tennessee and Missouri. She graduated high school in 1982 and went to join her dad, Ron, and her brother, Randy, to work in the auto industry. She began her career at General Motors in Wentzville, then she transferred to Saturn in Springhill, Tennessee then transferred back to General Motors in Wentzville, Missouri. She was a very proud member of the UAW 2250 for many years and enjoyed participating in various events.

In 2006 she settled into the tiny town of Elsberry, Missouri for a fresh start with her daughter, Briana. One of the fondest memories her daughter, Briana, has of her is waking up in the early morning to the smell of her moms hairspray and perfume and hearing her gently singing or humming to the tune of "King of the Road", by Roger Miller.

Theresa also enjoyed quilting, gardening, and playing her favorite game, Merge Dragons, on her days off.
