Teresa Thompson

A Celebration of Life Service for Teresa will be held on Monday, June 6, 11:30 AM at South Community Church in Bixby. A time of Family Visitation will be on that same day at 10:30 AM. Donna “Teresa” Thompson was born in Aberdeen Proving Ground Army Base near Aberdeen, Maryland on Saturday, November 19, 1966, to E. Clay Thompson, III and Donna Frances (Sudduth) Thompson. She passed from this life to her eternal home in heaven on Saturday, May 21, 2022, in Tulsa, Oklahoma at the age of 55. Teresa professed her faith and belief in Jesus Christ at a very early age. Although she had several years when she struggled and subsequently walked away, near the end of her life she returned to her faith and was not fearful as her health declined and her death approached. She attended school in Pryor, Oklahoma and graduated from high school in 1985. She married Mark Wilson in 1991, and they had two children together. Later in life she had another daughter who was eventually adopted by a family member. Although the marriage did not work out with Mark, the two remained close friends. Teresa was a very talented musician. In elementary school she became proficient on the violin and an accomplished piano player. She played flute and piccolo in the high school band and as a junior in high school, she was chosen to tour Europe for a month with an orchestra made up of talented young musicians from across the country. She taught herself to play clarinet, which she played in the church orchestra. She sang in the choir at school and at church, where she also performed many vocal solos. She was also a gifted artist, creating many beautiful works, painting murals for both her nieces’ childhood bedrooms and even painting a store window. Teresa was fun-loving and very personable. She had a quirky side and was delighted to achieve the “Biggest Klutz” award when she sat on the drum major’s hat, and when she was awarded the “Biggest Airhead” award. She always found it easy to laugh at herself and her own silliness. Teresa attended and graduated from Ashford University in North Carolina online and received her bachelor's degree in social work. She worked for a few years at the Carter County Mental Health Agency in Ardmore as their Intake Coordinator. As her health began to deteriorate, she moved back to the Tulsa area to be closer to family. She will be missed by all who knew and loved her. Left to cherish her memory are son, Matthew Wilson of Tulsa Daughter, Bethany Wilson of Tulsa Daughter, Chelsea Sudduth of Lauderdale, Mississippi Mother, Donna Thompson of Glenpool Sister, Stephanie Robinson (Lan) of Bixby Ex-Husband, Mark Wilson of Tulsa And several nieces, nephews, and cousins Those who preceded her in death were her father, Clay Thompson, III and her grandparents on both sides.
