Teresa Gail (Cox) Peace

With heavy hearts, we share the news that we've lost someone truly special—a dear friend and our mother.

Born October 24, 1953, Middlesboro, Kentucky – Died November 21, 2025, Miamisburg, Ohio.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Ottis Cox and Myrtle “Ruth” Coatney Cox; her brothers Ronald Cox, James Cox, Ottis “Doodle” Cox, Jr.; and her daughter Breanna Huffman. Teresa is survived by her sister, Brenda Carter (Charlie Carter); brother, Terry Cox (Judy Cox); sister, Pamela Fisher (Tom Fisher); her two sons, Roger Rose (Amy Rose) and Christopher Rose (Rafael Rivera). She leaves behind her many nieces and nephews; and her very special grandchildren, Bryceson Hatfield, Maddox Rose, Greyson Hatfield, and Isabella Huffman.

Mom brought kindness, laughter, and warmth wherever she went. Always ready with a helping hand, a caring ear, or a bright smile, she made everyone feel welcome and loved.

She was known for her love of gardening, arts & crafts, and all things glitter. Her passion for anything Christmas brought joy to those around her.

While it’s tough to put into words just how much she meant to us, we celebrate her life with an informal service at 5:30 PM on Thursday, December 11, 2025, at Gebhart-Schmidt-Parramore Funeral Home, Miamisburg, Ohio. Festive attire is encouraged! Immediately following, her family will receive friends until 8:30 PM at the funeral home, sharing memories and all the ways she touched our lives.

We want to honor her spirit in a way that reflects the kindness, warmth, and joy she shared so freely.

We invite you to bring a new, unwrapped toy to the Celebration of Life service or donate at https://www.htcdayton.org/donate-now. These gifts will be donated to children in need—spreading light, comfort, and a bit of magic in Teresa’s honor.

Your gesture will help carry forward the love she poured into the world, reminding us that even in loss, compassion can grow.

Thank you for helping us keep her memory shining brightly.

Rest easy, Mom. You will be deeply missed and eternally remembered.
