God bless her family I’m so sorry for loss Teresa was a wonderful lady.
Our family was so saddened to hear of the passing of Teresa. Our prayers will continue to be lifted up for strength and peace. God bless you.
It saddens me to find this out nearly three years after her passing. Teresa was a huge influence to me and I loved being one of her students at Sandhills. I have since moved across the state and have been in law enforcement for twelve years now, but I still think of some of the things I learned from her and will miss her deeply. Thank you Teresa for all you did for me, I have become a better law enforcement officer because of having amazing people like you in my life.
She changed the direction of my life. I woke up this morning with her on my mind and this is what I found. I came into Sandhills Community College as a single mother who had never stepped into college. I came into college on a 6th grade math level she never let me quit after taking math for three times I finally passed college algebra right before my breast cancer surgery the phone rang as I was in chapel hill and on the other end it was her telling me to be strong and everything was going to be alright I applied for the criminal justice program and the rest is history. I was diagnosed with breast cancer while attending her classes and she never left my side she told me that I could do whatever I put my mind to do after graduation at Sandhills with her crying as I walked the stage to receive my degree I then went to Fayetteville State University and graduated with my bachelor’s in criminal justice we talked over the years and she told me to keep going I will never forget this woman she encouraged me walked with me while fighting breast cancer I now have a master’s degree in education and volunteering as a community organizer in the city of Greensboro I love her always Anita Washington heaven has a phenomenal woman if there is ever a memorial please please let me speak she was my professor my mentor and friend
