Teresa "Tessa" Rich, age 51, from Washburn, Missouri, left us on Tuesday, April 29, 2025, at Mercy Hospital in Springfield, Missouri. Born on December 14, 1973, to Clifford and Joyce (Bowens) Hall in Fort Hood, Texas, Teresa spent her life lovingly caring for others, both people and animals. She shared a profound connection with her father and felt a great loss when he passed away.  Her children, husband, and beloved pet Dobbie meant the world to her, and she cherished every moment spent with them. She coached soccer at the YMCA for her son and nieces. She contributed to raising her nieces and nephews, and many of them referred to her as Momma T. She frequently received speeding tickets in her Mustang due to her tendency to drive fast and accept racing challenges. Teresa's selflessness and devotion to those around her will always be remembered fondly.

Survivors include her loving husband, Joseph Rich; one son, Joseph Rich III of Washburn, Missouri; one daughter, Chloe Rich of Bentonville, Arkansas; two grandchildren Morgan and Luna; two step daughters, Mariah Crow of Little Rock, Arkansas and Sierra Crow of Edmond, Oklahoma; her mother, Joyce Hall; four sisters, Gina Heath of Indianapolis, Indiana, Melisa Arnold of Washburn, Missouri, Michelle Barker of Springdale, Arkansas, and Jennifer Sponseller of Springfield, Missouri; and numerous aunts, uncles, nieces, and nephews.

Teresa is preceded in death by her father Clifford Hall.

A funeral service will be held Saturday, May 10, 2025, at 1:00 p.m. at White Funeral Home and Crematory.

Memorials may be made to the Butterfly Palace in Branson, Missouri and entrusted to White Funeral Home and Crematory in Cassville, Missouri.
