Mrs. Teaford graduated from business school and worked as a bookkeeper. She was a member of Central Baptist Church. She participated in children's ministries, women's prison ministries, and taught Sunday School. She was director of the local Christian Women's Job Corp. After retirement, she served two years as a missionary in Poland with the International Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention. She loved investing her life in others.

Mrs. Teaford is preceded in death by her parents; her husband, James "Ed" Teaford; sisters, Bernice Charnley, Edna Goldman and Iva Nell Thigpen; and brothers, Eugene Cooper and Charles Cooper.

Survivors include her two stepsons, Hugh Teaford of Memphis, TN and Jim Teaford of Eufaula, AL; four grandchildren, Aaron Teaford, Amanda Cantrell, Laura Pulvirenti, and Sarah Colby; two brothers, Danny Cooper of Sikeston, MO and Johnny Cooper of Baton Rouge, LA; and her close friends, Ed and Robbin Gillham.

Funeral services will be 6 pm Sunday at Central Baptist Church in Jonesboro, AR with Ed Gillham, Archie Mason and Larry Bailey officiating under the direction of Roller-Farmers Union Funeral Home of Jonesboro.

Visitation will begin at 5 pm for family and friends until time of service.

Burial will be held 10 am Monday at Mississippi County Memorial Gardens in Osceola.

The family requests lasting memorials be made to either Cornerstone Transition Home of Newport or the Butterfly House in Manila. These transition homes assist women who have recently been released from prison, and were very special to Patsy.

You were such an admirable lady. We worked together for many years and you taught me so much. One thing I specifically remember is when I would be upset about making a mistake, you always told me to calm down because all mistakes can be corrected. You lived your life as a true Christian. You didn't have to tell anyone you were because you honestly lived it. The world has lost a wonderful lady.

God has gained a wonderful lady. Patsy really showed her love for the Lord and her love for the Mission field. She was a great WMU director and teacher, I always enjoyed her teachings.
Always enjoyed being in her and Ed's home, she was a gracious hostess. She is going to be missed by so many friends at Church. Prayers are with the family during this time.
