Teri Lea Mainard

Teri Lea Mainard, a devoted mother, loving grandmother, and compassionate caregiver, passed away peacefully on February 9, 2026, at the age of 56. Born  September 12, 1969, in the heart of Oklahoma, Teri brought warmth and kindness into the world from the very beginning. She was the cherished daughter of Pauletta Sixkiller Ralston and the late Ken Mainard, who instilled in her the values of empathy and resilience that she carried throughout her life. Teri's life was a testament to the beauty of selflessness and dedication. As a self-employed Certified Nursing Assistant, she found her calling in caring for others, demonstrating a special talent for providing comfort and support to those in need. Her career was not just a job but a vocation where she touched countless lives with her gentle spirit and unwavering dedication. Outside of her professional life, Teri's heart belonged to her family. She was the proud and loving mother of two sons, Dalton Anson and his wife Amanda, and Dillon Anson and his wife Lauren. Teri's legacy of love and compassion extends to her four beloved grandchildren, Corbyn, Harper, Colton, and Savannah Anson, who were the light of her life. Her eyes would light up with joy and pride whenever she spoke of them, and her greatest delight was spending precious moments watching them grow and thrive. Teri's family was her joy, and her bond with her sister, Dana Mainard, was a source of strength and comfort throughout her life. She also shared a deep and abiding friendship with Nicole Goldsmith, who was more like a sister to her than a friend, forming a connection that enriched her life in immeasurable ways. In addition to her immediate family, Teir leaves behind a loving extended family and a community of friends who cherished her warmth and kindness.  A private service will be held by the family..
