Teresa was a Senior Credit Analyst at Hardware Resources and a loving wife and mother. Everyone who met her loved her personality and her kind soul. She made sure everybody was taken care of before she took care of herself. She enjoyed trying new recipes, watching her favorite t.v. shows, spending time with her family and with her dog, Diesel.

Teresa was preceded in death by her father, David Gifford; her grandpa, John Holzmeister; grandma, Eva Holzmeister; uncles, Dean Holzmeister and John Welling. She is survived by her life partner, Dan Patton; sons, Dakota Gifford and Austin Patton; mother, JoAnn Gifford; brother, Preston Gifford; uncle, Ronald Holzmeistr; aunts, Brenda Holzmeister and Betty Welling; cousins, Samantha Welling, Jenny Youngclaus, Anita Marrs and Vicki Lindsey.

The family would like to thank the doctors and nurses at Ochsner LSU Health in Shreveport, LA and M.D. Anderson in Houston, TX.
