Ms. Teresa Jean Barnes

December 5, 1953 - October 22, 2020

Teresa Jean Barnes 66, of Seward, Alaska passed from this life on October 22, 2020 at NEA Hospital in Jonesboro. Born in Palmer, Alaska to Glen and Renie Barnes, Teresa grew up and went to school at East High in Anchorage, AK. She was a kindhearted person that always put others before herself. Teresa was a strong willed, single mom who worked multiple jobs to keep a roof over their head and keep her two sons in daycare where she knew they were safe. The personal sacrifices she made daily revealed the love Teresa had for her boys. Her two sons were her world and she was so proud of both of them. She spent most of her career as a Commercial Baker for Costco. Teresa created relationships with her customers and they always knew they count on her. She also worked Outreach with Alaska Native Tribes in Seward. Preceded in death were her parents Glen and Mary (Motti) Barnes and a brother Fred Barnes. Teresa leaves behind her two sons Austin Meyer of Seattle, Washington and Orson (Kathy) Meyer of Black Oak, Arkansas; her brother Victor (Clara) Barnes of North Way, Alaska and her sister Judith (Paul) Gilliland of Seattle, Washington; two nephews Riley (Jenna) Martinez-Lynch of New York, NY and Garth Lynch of Santa Cruz, CA; along with a host of co-workers and lifelong friends. There will be a private family memorial at a later date in Seattle, Washington. Expressions of sympathy may be sent directly to her family. Tri-City LLC Crematory Funeral Home is honored and privileged to serve the family of Teresa Barnes. Online condolences may be expressed at www.Tri-CityLLC.com .
