FULTON – Teresa Gayle Carpenter, 67, passed away Saturday night, December 23, 2023, at her home. She was born July 4, 1956, in Tupelo. She worked as a computer operator for Hickory Hill and United Furniture and later as a babysitter, where she enjoyed a special bond with the children she kept as well as their families. Teresa was an active and devoted member of Trinity Baptist Church. She was an avid reader and sports fan, especially when it came to her favorite teams, the Atlanta Braves and Denver Broncos. Her love for others was evident, but the love she enjoyed being Mimi to her grandson was far beyond love.
