Teresa Ellyson Obituary

ELLYSON, Teresa Cottrell, 79, of Hanover, passed away on January 1, 2023. She was preceded in death by her parents Lawrence V. Cotrell Jr. and Mildred F. Martin; and husband, Paul B. Ellyson. She is survived by her daughter, Tammy Lynne Ellyson Salyers (Daniel); grandchildren, Tiffany Dawn Folkes (Alex), Terri Elizabeth Butler (Eric Gray), Daniel Bryant Salyers (Katleen Martin); three great-granddaughters, Emma Grace, Margo Elyse, and Adalyn Rowe Folkes; and a host of extended family members and close friends. Teresa loved the ocean, dancing, gardening, animals, and her church. She loved to laugh and be goofy, but had a serious side, with a deep heart, and a strong work ethic. She worked for USF&G Insurance Company, then the State of Virginia, and retired from 7 Eleven after 30 years at the same store.

The family will receive friends from 2 to 4 p.m. and 6 to 8 p.m. Friday, January 5th at the Mechanicsville Chapel of the Bennett Funeral Home, 8014 Lee-Davis Rd. A graveside service will be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday, January 6th at Mount Calvary Cemetery, 1400 S Randolph St, Richmond, VA 23220.
