Theresa Afua Sackey or 'Tess" as many of her friends called her was born on November 2nd, 2001 at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas. She grew up to be a vibrant and compassionate person. Although she initially emulated those around her, it didn't take long for Theresa's personality to shine. Whether she was on the dance floor or speaking words of positivity to those nearby, her presence was easily felt. She loved God, spending time with family and friends, food (specifically chicken wings and brownies ☺), dancing and so much more. Always up for 'new' and 'exciting' experiences, Theresa encouraged others to go outside their comfort zone. She truly understood the idea of living life to the fullest. Her heart for others was unlike any other. An avid churchgoer, often she prayed and comforted those around her. Rarely was she seen without a smile, even during her tough days. To know Theresa was to love her. At Wylie East High School, she maintained high grades and was highly active in Debate, Student Council, Interact club and Theatre Tech. She envisioned attending Georgetown University and had aspirations of becoming an international human rights lawyer. Theresa entered God's House on August 16th, 2018 at the age of 16. Now, she serves as her family's personal guardian angel. Fly high with the angels, Theresa. **The family has setup a GoFundMe page to accept memorial donations.
