Teresa Joann (Wilson) Pinkston, age 80, born on September 16, 1943, to Buddy and Neoma (Tucker) Wilson, peacefully passed away on February 12, 2024, at the Vici Nursing Home. Teresa's journey began in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and she later ventured to California. She attended Jefferson Junior High and Capital Hill High School in Oklahoma City, leaving a legacy of cherished memories in the hearts of those who knew her.

In the course of her life, Teresa was married to Coy Schones in Oklahoma City, and from this union, Cathy and Corkey were born. Later, on June 1, 1974, in El Reno, Oklahoma, she married Phillip Ray Pinkston, and together they welcomed Chris and Tina into their lives. The family traversed through Oklahoma, Texas, and Colorado, creating a tapestry of shared experiences and enduring love.

Teresa dedicated over 20 years of her life to the healthcare field, making a lasting impact at the Vici Nursing Home. Her compassionate nature and commitment to others defined her professional journey.

An avid lover of animals, Teresa found joy in the company of dogs, chickens, and, especially, horses. Her love extended beyond the animal kingdom; she was also a skilled seamstress, finding fulfillment in the artistry of creating. Teresa's support for the Vici Rodeo Club showcased her commitment to her community and passion for local events.

A skilled bowler, Teresa enjoyed her time on the bowling lane and preferred playing with a 13lb. bowling ball, achieving the impressive feat of scoring a perfect 300. Her competitive spirit and love for the game brought joy to those who shared in the experience with her.

Teresa was a devoted Christian, finding solace and community at the Vici Christian Church, where she was baptized on June 2, 1991. Her faith was a guiding light throughout her life.

Teresa J Pinkston was preceded in death by her parents, Buddy and Neoma Wilson, her husband Phillip Pinkston, her daughter Tina Pinkston, her son Corkey Schones, and her brother Keith Wilson. She is survived by her daughter, Cathy Morris, and husband Mike of Vici, Oklahoma, son Chris Pinkston of Vici, Oklahoma, granddaughters Trisha Tapp and husband Robert of Piedmont, Oklahoma, and Jessie Martin and husband Tom of Hilo, Hawaii, grandson Levi Schones, brother Tom Wilson and wife Andrea of Tuttle, Oklahoma, and sister Linda Schones of Yukon, Oklahoma, along with 9 great-grandchildren, numerous nieces, and nephews.

Teresa's greatest joy was her grandkids. She was always doing crafts, cooking, or attending functions with them. She even made lots of their clothes especially for rodeo contests.

Teresa's life was a tapestry woven with love, laughter, and compassion. Her memory will be cherished by those who were fortunate enough to be a part of her journey. May she rest in eternal peace.
