Obituary for Teresa Ann Westmoreland (White)
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding, but in all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your path.
Mrs. Teresa Ann White Westmoreland, beloved daughter of Otis and Mary Carr White, was born in Iredell County on March 24, 1958. She departed this life on Wednesday, July 1, 2020, at Novant Health in Huntersville, NC.
She was a graduate of South Iredell High School in 1976, and was a member of Antioch Baptist Church in Cleveland. She was the President over the Pastor’s Aide, Director over the Young Adult Choir, a member of Antioch Spiritual Singers, the Missionary Department, Praise and Worship Team and the Kitchen Committee. She was a loving mother, not only to her own children but to many others including the Youth and Young Adults of Antioch Baptist Church. Her infectious smile and bubbly personality would light up a room.
In 1977, she married Henry Thomas Westmoreland, who preceded her in death. Her paternal grandparents, Fred and Maggie White and her maternal grandparents, Espie and Sadie Carr, Etta Ree Partee, also preceded her in death.
