Ms. Helen Ruth Teague, age 85, of Douglasville, Georgia passed away peacefully on Thursday, January 27, 2022 at her home with her loving children by her side. Helen was born on August 14, 1936 to James William and Elsie Katy Sanders in Canadian, Oklahoma. She lived in Oklahoma until 1948 when the family moved to Lubbock, Texas. This is where she met the love of her life, Walter Jack Teague. They were married on August 30, 1952 in Roosevelt, New Mexico. Helen was a doting wife and mother. She and Jack had four children and devoted their lives to serving the Lord. Everyone who knew Helen knows that she was an extremely kind, loving, gentle, and peaceful person that loved her family very much. She lived with dementia for the last few years of her life, battling this disease with the most amazing grace, bravery and strength. She lived everyday with positivity and determination not to let the disease keep her from doing the things she loved.
Preceding her in death are her parents; her husband, Jack Teague; daughter, Karen Lineberger; son, Ronald Teague; brother, Kenneth Sanders; and sisters, Anne Baer and Millie Rivera.
Left to cherish her memory are her children, Tanya Mathis and Richard Teague; grandchildren, Halle Evich, Heinz Thompson, and Jack Douglas Lineberger; 2 great grandchildren; 4 great-great grandchildren; and sister, Margaret Sanders. She will forever be in our hearts and missed every day.
