Teresa J. Wallace

A celebration of her life will be held at 2 p.m. on Wednesday, February 2, at Philadelphia Baptist Chapel, with the Reverend Joe Chandler officiating. Interment will follow at Lakeview Memorial Park.

After decades of being an amazing woman, cast down from the heavens, a loving and caring, wife, mother and grandmother named Teresa “Gi Gi” Wallace loved by many, and accepted by the Lord, and his angels. She is a blessing to her beloved family. She was a passionate employee of “BB&T” amongst many things. With a positive attitude towards anything, and everything, she always showed the correct door to pass through; she knew how to turn a sad man happy, and a hardened man to a man with a willing heart and soul. Through these trials and tribulations that she overcame and conquered, not only was she always positive, but she always showed dignity, respect, and love towards everyone.

Teresa was preceded in death by her mother and stepfather, Joanne and Henry Fargis; father, Woody Sloan; brothers, Kenny and Ricky Sloan; and sister, Belva Sapp.

Left to cherish her memory are her husband, Allen Wallace; sons, Cody Allen Wallace, Joshua Emanuel James and wife, Holly Davis James; grandson, Carson Reece James; sister, Kim Taylor and husband Kevin; brother, Stevie Sloan and wife Lynn; many loving nieces and nephews; and loving dog, Tiger Wallace.

The family will receive friends from 6 until 8 p.m. on Tuesday, February 1, at Hanes-Lineberry N. Elm Street Chapel.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the American Cancer Society, 4-A Oak Branch Drive, Greensboro NC 27407, or to the National Kidney Foundation, 4819 Park Road, Suite C, Charlotte NC 28209.
