Teresa Parra Sanchez's Obituary
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Teresa Parra Sanchez, who left this world on February 4, 2025, in Tulsa, Oklahoma, at the age of 63. Teresa was born on February 7, 1961, in Tecpan de Galeana, Guerrero, Mexico, to her loving parents, Juan Parra and Asencion Sanchez.
Teresa was a beautiful soul with a heart as big as her smile. Known for her warmth and kindness, she never met a stranger—everyone who crossed her path felt the genuine love she carried effortlessly. She was the heart of her family, a devoted mother who proudly played both the roles of mom and dad, raising her children and later taking on the role of caregiver to all her grandchildren. Recently, she embraced the joyful title of great-grandmother, a blessing that filled her heart with immense pride and happiness.
Teresa had a passion for life’s simple pleasures. She found joy in cooking for her family and friends, always eager to share a new recipe she discovered from her beloved cooking shows. She enjoyed the thrill of visiting the casino and the drama of her favorite soap operas. But above all, her greatest joy came from the time she spent surrounded by those she loved.
She leaves behind a large, loving family and countless friends who will forever cherish her memory, her laughter, and the warmth she brought into their lives. Teresa’s legacy of love, strength, and compassion will live on in the hearts of all who knew her.
She will be deeply missed but never forgotten.
