Mary Teresa Myers

Mary Teresa Severs Myers, affectionately known as Teresa, passed away peacefully at the age of 96 at The Pinnacle of Louisville Memory Care on June 22, 2025. She returned to her heavenly Father, after a long life filled with love, faith, and devotion. Born on October 15, 1928, in Meade County, Kentucky, Teresa was the daughter of Joseph and Bernadine Pike. She was raised on the family farm alongside her siblings, where the values of hard work, family, and faith were deeply rooted and never left her heart. A devout Catholic throughout her life, Teresa was a faithful parishioner of St. Michael’s Church and later St. Peter the Apostle. Her spiritual devotion was reflected in the kindness, warmth, and grace with which she lived every day. To all who knew her, Teresa was a beacon of light—compassionate, genuine, and grounded in her love for God and others. Teresa found deep joy in the simple things—gardening, sewing, cooking, walking, and especially spending time in conversation with her family and friends. She was a devoted mother and grandmother, always putting her loved ones first. She was a University of Louisville Cardinals fan, that loved cheering on her team during games. She is preceded in death by her two beloved husbands, Lawrence Lamar “Buster” Severs and Bertram “Bert” C. Myers, as well as her sons Dennis Loyd Severs and Curt Silvers, and her great- grandson Lincoln Spurrier. Teresa leaves behind a legacy of love in her surviving children: daughters Diana Reece and Deloris Spurrier (Jack Spurrier), and son Gary Severs. She is also survived by her daughters-in- law, Suzanne Severs and Essie Silvers, along with 9 cherished grandchildren and 6 great- grandchildren; brother, John Pike; and sisters, Elizabeth Hobbs and Bernadine Schmell. Her passing leaves a deep void, but we take comfort in knowing she has returned to her Heavenly Father. May we all remember Teresa not by how her life ended, but by the grace and joy with which she lived it. Her Memorial Mass will be at 10 a.m. Saturday, September 6, 2025 at St. Michael Catholic Church, 3705 Stone Lakes Dr. In lieu of flowers, donations in her honor may be made to Union Star Cemetery, c/o Rebecca Shelman, 201 Old Union Star Lane, Union Star, KY 40171.
