Teresa "Teresita" Valentina Rangel, 1, a radiant spirit who brought joy to all who knew her, was born on February 13, 2024, in Tifton, Georgia. With her infectious smile and exuberant personality, Teresita captivated hearts during her brief time with us. She loved to dance and eat, embodying the essence of happiness from a very young age.

Teresita departed this world on April 7, 2025, leaving behind cherished memories that will forever resonate in the hearts of her family and friends. She is survived by her loving father, Carlos Adrian Rangel, and her devoted mother, Erika Denise Contreras Rangel. Teresita was embraced by a beautiful family lineage, including her maternal grandparents, Hortencia Santillan Gutierrez and Jesus M.

Teresita was a beloved sister to Ximena Natalie Sanchez and Isabella Denise Rangel, who will carry her joyful spirit within them always.

Her legacy of happiness and warmth will continue to inspire those who were fortunate enough to know her.
