Fiercely independent, Teen was a strong woman of faith. Her faith in God carried her through many ups and downs in her life, and her family finds comfort in knowing she has been reunited with her Father in heaven. She always loved sitting with family and friends chatting over a good cup of coffee, however her greatest joy will forever be her ten grandchildren. They always made her so proud.
Teen was a long-time member of the National Cattlewoman’s Association and American Legion Post of Creole. Most famously known for her peanut brittle, Teen was a lifelong supporter of the Knights of Columbus, she was also a Catholic Daughter of Court Mary Olive #1463. Teen spent her life making a home for her three children and her husband of 56 years. Since Monroe often worked out of town, she was head of the house most of the time.
