My heart 💜 goes out to her children , her siblings and grandchildren! I grieve with them! Sissy lived her life in an exemplary and steadfast way ! She was filled with compassion!

I’m sure the signs said job well done ! Can you imagine all the rejoicing taking place ??? My prayers extend past this month but in all the days ahead!! 🙏🏽

Theresa was a phenomenal woman. She was known to be a hard worker, an extraordinary cook, and a stickler for cleanliness. Theresa was filled with compassion and empathy for others. She freely opened her hands to those less fortunate and was quick to reach out to those in need, giving of her substance and giving equally of herself. She was always that person you could count on. Theresa was a member of Seventh Street Baptist Church, Henderson, KY where she served on the Usher Board. Also, she was a member of the Independent Club and the Black Essence Club. Theresa was truly inspiring in all her ways.

She leaves to cherish her memory four children, DeVona (Timothy) Sims, Anthony Jermaine (Jill) Butler, Tonika (Roland) Butler-Brown, and Menelik Brank whom she loved very much. Additionally, she is survived by her five siblings, Charlene Turner, Archie Turner, Ralph Turner, Hence Brank, Jr., Anna Cole; six grandchildren, Brittany Butler, Anthony Butler, Bianca Wargel, Timia’ Sims, Trevion Butler, Roland Brown III and many nieces, nephews, extended family and friends.
