Teresa Barnard

Teresa Wilkinson Barnard, 75, a beloved mother, cherished grandmother and great-grandmother, devoted sister, loving aunt, and treasured great-aunt, passed away peacefully on Wednesday morning, July 23, 2025, in Fort Worth, Texas. She spent her later years residing in Granbury, Texas.

A celebration of Teresa’s life will be held at a later date.

Born on April 24, 1950, in Fort Worth, Texas, Teresa was the cherished daughter of Dallas and Gwen Wilkinson. Raised in a close-knit family, she developed the values of resilience, loyalty, and compassion that would define her throughout her life. These early years laid the foundation for the deep love she would later share with her children, grandchildren, and family.

Teresa found joy in the simple pleasures of life. She was a devoted reader who cherished quiet moments with a good book and found profound peace in being near the ocean—her favorite place to unwind and reflect. Her family will forever remember her for her strength, spirited personality, and the boundless love she gave so generously.

She is survived by her children: Kenneth and his wife Dulce, Tracey and her husband Steve, Aimee and her husband Dave; her grandchildren: Josh, Jordan, Daniela, Amanda, Ashley, Stephanie, Emalee, Zoey, and Nicolas; her great-grandchildren: Serenity, Divinity, Ryder, Ryland, and Coraline; her sister Donna, nieces and nephews: Jason, Kevin, Sean, Kimberly, Jessica, Erika, Jennifer, Dallas, and Shay, as well as great-nieces and great-nephews who brought her endless joy.

Teresa was preceded in death by her husband, Joe Barnard; her parents; her brother, Dallas Jr.; her sisters, Nadine and Sandra; and her nephew, Ronnie.

Teresa’s legacy of love, resilience, and dedication lives on in all who knew her.
