Teresa Ann Shapter, loving daughter, role model to four sisters and two brothers, devoted wife, and mother of two, is at peace after a year-long battle with cancer.  She passed in Chapel Hill Cancer Hospital in the early morning of Tuesday, February 23 surrounded by loving family.

A service will be held on Friday, February 26 at 11am in the sanctuary of St. Luke United Methodist Church, 2916 Wicker Street, Sanford.

In lieu of flowers, a donation can be made to St. Luke United Methodist Church.

Mrs. Shapter was born in San Diego, California, and spent the last 15 years of her life in Sanford, North Carolina.  She was an active member of St. Luke United Methodist Church and volunteered frequently.  The Lee County School System was lucky to have Mrs. Shapter as a substitute teacher for several years.

Earth is the worse for the loss of a sister,
but Heaven is richer, now my mother’s an angel.

The family was assisted by Miller-Boles Funeral Home.
