Tupelo- Teresa Lynne Lomax, age 62, passed away July 2, 2025 at North MS Medical Center in Tupelo. She was born in Beloit, WI on January 10, 1963 to Joseph Lomax and Emma Jean Sanders Lomax. In 1995, Teresa moved from Indianapolis, IN, to Tupelo, MS, embracing new beginnings and opportunities in her life. Teresa was a devoted mother and the primary caregiver to her daughter for many years. For the past year she worked as a janitor at Martinrea Automotive Structures, where she formed many deep relationships with her coworkers, whom she affectionately referred to as her work family. She found immense joy in being a grandmother, and her grandchildren were the light of her life. Teresa's warmth extended beyond her family; she had an ability to bring people together, often through her passion for grilling, playing games, and watching game shows. She will be greatly missed by those that knew and loved her.

Teresa is survived by her daughters, Nakesha "Nikki" Williams (Safari), Tiara Williams; grandchildren, DJ Owens, Chloe Owens all of Tupelo, MS; brothers, Larry Lomax of Indianapolis, IN, James Vincent Lomax (Dianne) of Houston, TX, Ricky Dewayne Lomax of AR, David Lomax of Tupelo, MS; aunt and uncle, Jody and Kathy Lomax of Platville, WI; a host of cousins, including her close cousin and friend, Pretty Autry (Steve); as well as numerous nieces, nephews, extended family and friends. She was preceded in death by her parents, Joseph Lomax and Emma Jean Sanders Lomax; brother, Freddy Lomax; sisters, Jean Ann Lomax, Valerie Lomax. The family would like to say a special thanks to her Martinrea work family, which includes Angie, China, and Lisa who have been exceptional during her time of transition.
