Teresa Lynn Kinsley

Teresa Kinsley, 59, of Madison MS went home to be with Jesus on May 22, 2015. She is survived by her husband, Steve Kinsley; sons, Chris Kinsley, Craig Kinsley and Alfie Kinsley; her daughter, Kim Wantling as well as her parents, Robert and Sara George; brother, Robert George III and sister, Wanda Kinsley. She was also the loving "Gogo" to 5 grandchildren that always brought a smile to her face.

Teresa taught school at Alta Woods Baptist Kindergarten, Hillcrest Christian School and Anne Smith Elementary for over 20 years. But her most fulfilling years were spent as a missionary in South Africa where her favorite place was in the dirt loving on the people of that country and sharing with them the hope she had in Jesus Christ.

From the day of her diagnosis until her last, she told everyone she met that her life was a miracle because of Jesus. Her genuine, contagious passion inspired everyone she met. No person was exempt from her love which was given freely. We were all blessed to have known her.
