Theresa "Teri" Wainwright Cook, 73, passed away on Thursday, November 24, 2022, at her home.

Teri worked at Leggett for many years where she was a top seller and was a pace winner each year. After the death of her husband, who was the father of her children, Jesse C. Wainwright on November 24, 1986, she became a real estate agent at Southern Reality until her retirement.
Teri was loved and will truly be missed by many. She was a beautiful woman inside and out.

Teri is survived by her loving husband William Scott Cook of Newport News, VA; her children, Rhonda Wainwright Kachuba (Billy), Roger Wainwright (Kara), Robbie Wainwright; grandchildren, Matthew Yarborough (Elle), Jonathan Kepler (Morgan), Madison Lane, Makenzie Deas, Mason Deas, Jesse Wainwright, Brittney Wainwright, Kayla Wainwright, Cameron Wainwright, Cooper Wainwright, Connor Kachuba, Landon Kachuba; great granddaughter Adaline Kepler; one sister Carolyn "Judy" Doyle; one aunt Marion "Auntie" Robinson; two stepsons, Corey Cook (Lauren), Chris Cook (Erica); step grandchildren, Ashlyn Cook, Landon Cook, Nicholas Cook; and many cousins, nieces, and nephews.

Teri was preceded in death by her parents, Robert Shelton and Rachel Collins; and her siblings, Tommy Shelton, Gail Collins and Ricky Collins.
We would like to say thank you to her hospice nurses and aide Barbara, Krista, Janice, Brittany and Reverend Reese for their care and compassion during this time.
