I am a graduate of Dallas Institute of Mortuary Science – Class of 1996; as a native Texan, I served as a Funeral Director and Embalmer in the Dallas/Fort Worth area; later I moved to Pensacola, FL where I continued as a Funeral Director and Embalmer and gained experience with honoring those who served in the military. After several years in Pensacola, I felt it was time to move the Carolinas where I have worked in both North and South Carolina as a Funeral Director and acquired a Real Estate license in both states.  I have two adult children that I love dearly; my church fellowship is with Mountain View Baptist Church in Boiling Springs. I absolutely love reading, working in the yard; visiting Pensacola Beach and letting everyone know that I am a “TEXAN”.

I chose to work with J.F. Floyd Mortuary beginning in April 2021 because I believed in what they stood for as a long time representative of funeral service. As a funeral director, I want families to know my heart is to truly help and encourage them throughout the loss of their family and friends, just as J.F. Floyd Mortuary has done for well over 130 yrs.

Teri is a licensed funeral director in both North and South Carolina.  Coming into the industry in 1997 as an Administrative Assistant, she earned her North Carolina Funeral Directors License in September 2003 and her South Carolinas Funeral Directors License in May 2010 after moving to Charleston, SC.

Her tenure as a Funeral Director has taken her from the Blue Ridge mountains in Asheville where she made her home for more than 35 years, to the coast of South Carolina, to the Piedmont area of NC and is finally, currently serving at The J. F. Floyd Mortuary in Spartanburg, SC. 

After the death of her son, Aaron, Teri trained to be a Certified Grief Recovery Specialist and she also facilitates GriefShare in churches.  Teri believes being a Funeral Director and a Grief Recovery Specialist are the two ministries that God has blessed her with.  “It is such a privilege to journey alongside those who grieve.  So many families, friends and even strangers ministered to me and my family at the time of Aaron’s death that I promised if I were ever presented with an opportunity to serve others in the same way, I would consider it an honor and a blessing to do so.”  It is also my son’s legacy.

As the mother of two additional adult children, Lindsey (married to Xavier) and their three children, Dominique, Jasmine, and Olivier who live in Charlotte, and Seth (married to Kelly) and their three children, Abram, Reynolds, and Landry who all live in Asheville. My life is full of family events, soccer games, family pizza nights and trips to celebrate life at the beach.
