Originally published December 8, 2005 Teresa Lee Faylor ST. GEORGE - Teresa Lee Faylor, age 48, died December 5, 2005, in St. George, Utah. Here on earth, Terry was a mom to all. She was kind and loving to family, as well as friends. She was rarely critical, choosing more often to be supportive of others. A typical sister in our youth, she was occasionally a pest, but always a friend. Over the years she truly developed a Christ-like love for all, a quality rarely achieved in one life time. She enjoyed making and collecting Christmas crafts, being the noisy cheerleader-mom at youth soccer games, and participating in numerous church callings. She will be sorely missed by parents, children, extended family, friends, co-workers, and a brother. She is survived by her children: Josiah Faylor, Laurel Faylor, Garrett Faylor, Trenton Faylor, and Wyatt Faylor, parents: Rex and Alice Adamson, and brother: Darrell Adamson. We hurt so much because we love so much. Until we meet again at our Heavenly Father's chosen time, we give this bitter-sweet goodbye. We love you Terri.
