Teresa C. Littleton, 57
LAUREL - Teresa C. Littleton, of Laurel, was victorious in her battle against cancer on Thursday, June 26, 2008, and has been called home by God to rest. She was 57.
Teresa had many different careers in her life, from teachers aide, greenhouse worker, library aide to drug prevention counselor, but her life's mission was to help other people in any way she could.
She organized a summer reading program for underprivileged children, started a soup kitchen at church, coordinated The Angel Tree outreach program for children of prisoners, collected clothing for less fortunate people, assembled infant care packages for pregnant teens and was instrumental in starting several local missions through her church, Christ United Methodist Church, Laurel.
Teresa was honored in 2006 when she was nominated for and received The Jefferson Award for Outstanding Community Service.
She was preceded in death by her father, Glen Kenney Cordrey.
Teresa is survived by her husband, Frank; mother, Inez Cordrey; her sister, Karen Cherrix and her husband Don; three nieces, Christel, Rachel and Natalie; and several aunts, uncles and cousins. Teresa loved her family dearly.
Her interment will be private, but there will be a memorial service at 11 a.m. on Monday in Christ United Methodist Church, 510 S. Central Ave., Laurel.
Pastor Barbara Wilson will officiate.
Instead of flowers, it is asked that contributions be made to either of her two favorite organizations, Heifer International, 1 World Ave., Little Rock, AR 72202; or Habitat For Humanity of Sussex County, P.O. Box 759, Georgetown, DE 19947. One can contribute to either group directly or send it to Teresa Littleton Memorial Fund, c/o Bank of Delmarva, 200 E. Market St., Laurel, DE 19956.
Arrangements are in the care of the Hannigan, Short, Disharoon Funeral Home, 700 West St., Laurel.
