of West Memphis, AR
September 30, 1957 - March 16, 2026
Teresa Lynn Cupples Foster was born on September 30, 1957, in Hughes, Arkansas to Bill and Mary Butler Cupples. She entered into eternal rest on March 16, 2026. She was a beloved mother, grandmother, sister and child of God whose life reflected love, perseverance, and faith.
Teresa's greatest blessing in life was her family. She offered unconditional love, quiet strength, and steady guidance to all. Her presence was a source of comfort, and her love was constant and true. Those who knew Teresa were touched by her gentle spirit and the care she showed in both words and actions.
Her faith was an anchor throughout her life. Teresa trusted in God's promises and found peace in knowing that this life was not the end, but a passage into everlasting life. While her absence is deeply felt, her family takes comfort in knowing she now rests in God's eternal embrace.
She was preceded in death by her father and mother. Teresa is survived by her daughter, Stephanie Foster of West Memphis, Arkansas; her son, Trey Foster (Kaitlyn) of Brevard, North Carolina; her grandson Spencer Foster of Memphis, TN and her brother, Bobby Cupples (Marianne) of Proctor. She is also survived by her nieces Ashli Cupples Byas (Chance) of Southaven, Mississippi, Mallory Cupples Grove (John) of Arlington, Virginia and her great niece and nephew Adelyn Kate Byas and Jack Grove. Teresa also leaves behind a host of aunts, uncles, and cousins.
She leaves behind a legacy of love, faith, and devotion that will continue to live on through them.Though she will be dearly missed, Teresa's life and faith remind us of the hope we have in Christ and the promise that we will one day be reunited. Her memory will forever remain in the hearts of those who loved her.

Teresa was like a second mom. We shared so many special memories while living together in Florida. I'll never forget our dinner and game nights at Kendra's, working together at Greystone, driving around town in her convertible bug and learning how to make corn dip. I wish we lived closer but I'm thankful for some special phone conversations over the years. I'll miss you Teresa. Thank you for loving us.

Looking across the street and knowing that my sweet neighbor is no longer there makes my heart ache. But I know where she now resides and that her battle with pain and suffering is over! She is rejoicing with her Jesus and family members that have gone before her. I loved you as a friend and neighbor and our neighborhood will never be the same. My prayer is for Gods comfort to embrace Stephanie, Trey and Spencer as they deal with this loss of the one you loved so dearly as she did you.

How blessed am I to have such amazing sisters, and for Teresa to be assigned as a bonus sister to me! She is wearing a crown adorned with many stars in it and truly she has seen our Fathers face and heard his voice saying to her, Well done my good and faithful servant! Great is your reward !
Stephanie, Trey, Spencer, Bobby C., Bobby W., Jennifer, Charity, Hollie and the many many lives who have been touched by her love and care; I lift us all
Up to our Father for comfort and praise Him in Jesus name for welcoming her home!
Oh the shenanigans she and Glenda are getting into again!

My heart is broken yet I know Resa is where she has longed to be. I know she breezed right on through those pearly gates in true typical Resa fashion. She was so much more than just a cousin to me...she was also a sister. We have a lifetime of wonderful memories and for that I am so very thankful. Her faith was unlike any I had ever seen. Her faith helped me with my own faith. I will forever miss my gossip buddy but I am at peace knowing she is no longer suffering. I will always love you and miss you Fifi...all my love, hugs and prayers to Trey, Stephanie and Spencer. Only God knows how much she loved and adored the 3 of you. Rest now my sweet Resa wrapped safely in the arms of the angels. We will meet again one day (I hope although I will have to held up for a bit I am afraid outside the gates LOL)....I know you always knew how much I love you and looked up to you, Peace to all.....love Fuzzy aka Fairy
