Teresa was born in Bill R. and Katherine A Anderson in Ada, Oklahoma, on the 6th of December 1946. Teresa spent her childhood and early adult years in Pond Creek, OK, where she was known to have a quiet dignity, was always poised and mature beyond her years. She graduated with the high school Class of 1963 and was the loveliest football queen of her time. She attended Northwestern State University on an academic scholarship. Teresa married her lifelong love, Jame C. Day, on the 10th of October 1965. 45 years. Thet lived in Enid, Oklahoma, where she worked for the Enid State School and then Oklahoma Department of Human Resources as a Social Worker, a career she pursued for 18 years throughout many locations in Oklahoma. Jim worked for Oklahoma Natural Gas Company or Noble Corporation. They family finally ended up living in Houston where they resided the last 23 years.
"Teresa, in her soft but firm manner directed and organized a loving and comforting home for the three children she loved and the husband she doted on and to which she enjoyed catering. Half measures were never enough in any of her life efforts, whether decorating to lovely excess on the holidays, or making a small turn of the century house on the family ranch in their home in Colorado a perfect retreat for the family, she devoted herself to wholly and completely. She was one of those God-given personalities who fulfill themselves in the care and support of others, particularly those they love. The real joy of Teresa and Jim's life together were the children they raised together."
On the 17th of April 1972, Heather Ayn was born and filled their home with a new level of joy. Five years later Jennifer Erin, a bundle of energy and happiness was born on the 23rd of January 1977, and finally, on the 8th of February 1984, James Curtis (a special surprise) brought a level of animated sound to the growing family, the impact of which was never fully appreciated by his sisters! Teresa was the consummate mother. There was never an event missed or a bland birthday party. She was always there with the perfect wors of encouragement or being the needed listener or moral supporter. Over the thirty years of Jim's involvement with Noble Corporation, and Teresa developed many special friends at the company that were also a part of her life, and she was consistently concerned and solicitous about the Noble employees. They too, were family! She was honored beyond compare when in 2007, they bestowed upon her Noble Corporation Award, honoring her for her contributions, caring and devotion to the Noble Corporation. The University of Oklahoma College of Earth and Energy named the Dean Suite in her honor. She was later recognized by the Boys and Girls Country for her years of support to that organization.
After Jim's retirement, Teresa redirected her energies to other endeavors but her family was always the center of her life and caring nature. Teresa is survived by her devoted husband, Jim, of 47 years; daughter, Heather Day and her sons, Harrison Morrow and Jordan Morrow of Sugar Land, Texas; daughter, Jennifer Day, also of Sugar Land; son, James Day and his wife Katie of Houston, Texas; father, Bill Anderson of Ponca City; brother, Bill Anderson and his wife Diana of Houston; brother, Brian Anderson and his wife Tammie of Edmond. Teresa's passing was preceded by her mother, Katherine Anderson and brother, Steve Anderson.
Describing Teresa takes one that beholds a "gift of words of kind expression, gratitude and understanding of one who always put others before her own life or needs," but this lesser human will try. No one could be more kind or loving and for Teresa, that virtue, was innate, and she cherished having that special attribute in hersel, as well as, when friends and family also shared it as part of their life, as she did. Teresa loved everyone, and she cherished her family and friends relatiosnhips every day of her life. They were a part of her heart and soul, and "they were who she was!" Teresa loved life, and was a significant positive influence in the lives of all that met, knew and loved her! She cared for everyone! The World has lost a consumate example and role model for others! Teresa was a tapestry of love, life, giving, being "everything" to all that met or knew her. These were all threads of the tapestry that Teresa wove over her brief lifetime. It is a marvelous tapestry filled with family, friends, and a life well lived! This kind and loving "lady" made a difference, and leaves a host of family, friends, co-workers and acquaintances that became part of her life "tapestry" of a life well-lived, and one that made a difference, and left an example for all she touched to follow in their lives. These were all threads of the tapestry that Teresa wove over her brief lifetime. It is a marvelous tapestry, and one that will never be forgotetten, and very likely continued in the lives of others Teresa touched as she loved and lived a beautiful life to the fullest!
