Theresa Ann Newell, age 70, of Lewisburg, Tennessee, passed away in her sleep at home on November 6, 2026.
Born on April 28, 1956, in Detroit, MI to Bill and Mary Hogue, she became a mother at the age of 15. From that day on, she met motherhood with natural instinct, caring, compassion, and unwavering commitment to her family. She was a model in her younger years, but her greatest pride and joy was being a wife and mom.
Faith in Jesus Christ, her Lord and Savior, was the foundation of her life. She held a strong Christian faith, was active in church events, and loved to dance to gospel music.
Her devotion to family shone brightest in her final years, which she dedicated to caring for her grandchildren Faith and Grace from birth to age six, giving them the opportunity to excel in life. She was preceded in death by her parents, Bill and Mary Hogue, and her brothers, Ronnie and Billy Hogue.
She is survived by her children, Ric (his spouse Bridgette), Amy, and Larry; 14 grandchildren; and 5 great-grandchildren and her partner in life, Larry Newell Sr.
Visitation will be November 14, 2026 at Morrison Funeral Home, Central Heights from 12:00 PM until 1:00 PM with a Memorial service immediately following. Burial will be at Central Heights Community Cemetery.
In her memory, the family asks that you hold your loved ones a little closer.
