Teresa Lynne (Stephens) Phelps arrived in this world on February 10, 1963 in Kansas City, Kansas and walked the golden path to be with the Lord and family of angels on November 6, 2024.
She is preceded in death by her parents George and Mary Stephens; her brother Bryan Stephens; three nieces; and two great-nieces.
Teresa graduated from West Fork High School in 1981. She enjoyed cooking, sitting on the porch listening to the sound of her wind chimes while spending-time with her pet Miss Kitty. Teresa loved watching old tv shows and movies. She was an avid Candy Crush player, but above all, she loved spending-time with her grandbabies. They were her world. Teresa enjoyed making her granddaughter Gabbie strawberry shortcake. She loved when family came together. One of her favorite times was when all the siblings would come together and have lunch or even family outings. Nothing meant more to her than family itself. She will be missed by many but loved by all.
