She is survived by the love of her life and husband of 41 years, Michael A. Park; children, Ted, Meagan, and Shannon Park; grandchildren, Trent and Emmy, her very heart whom called her "Sam Sam"; siblings, Kelly (Ron) McIntyre and their children and grandchildren, Todd (Sara) Cotterman and their children and grandchildren; Larry (Valerie) Park and their children and grandchildren, and Corina Park and her children and grandchildren; her best friends, Janice, Lisa, Susie, Stephanie, Crystal, Susan, and all of her best friends families whom she lovingly had “adopted” like her own.

Blessed with a lifetime of Church family at Gospel Chapel, as well as nearby churches fondly called “Sister Churches” – Believers Fellowship, Turners Chapel.

Teddye and Mike enjoyed 41 blessed, happy, and adventurous years together. Not rich, but became enriched in their travels, faith in God, and deep love for each other. They always tried to make each new day an exciting event for each other and everyone they came into contact with.

In her years teaching at Richlands, Teddye took the same approach with every student-but she called them her “babies”. She was making her mark, with everyone she came in contact with, because she loved everyone in her life.

In her words and true to her humorous nature – “I want you to know, this body is just a shell. The nut is gone!”
