These everyday moments will remain treasured memories for her family.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Danny L. Walker, and her parents.

Teresa is survived by her three daughters, Angela (John) Glyder of Wadmalaw Island, South Carolina; Amy Thomas of Charleston, South Carolina; and Amanda Walker of Charlotte, North Carolina; her six grandchildren, Nick Glyder, Nathaniel Glyder, Jordan Glyder, Brooke Glyder, Zachary Thomas, and Madison Burkett; her sister, Regina McCauley; and her brother, Willie Close.
