Teresa Jeannette Franks

Teresa Franks Reesie, age 67, passed away on May 4, 2026. She was born on June 7, 1958, in Bryan, Texas, to her parents, Emma Jean Franks Pennington and Homer Eugene Franks.

Teresa built a life centered around the things she loved most—her family, laughter, and life’s simple joys. She dedicated 30 years of her career to Texas A&M, where she formed lasting friendships and made a meaningful impact through her work.

She will be remembered for her vibrant spirit and her natural ability to bring people together. Teresa found happiness in the moments that mattered most—playing dominoes with family, taking trips to Rockport, Texas, and fishing whenever she had the chance. She had a deep love for music and dancing, especially to “Mustang Sally,” which never failed to bring out her joyful energy.

Her grandchildren were her world, and she loved them with all her heart.

Teresa is survived by her daughter Ashley Franks; son Cody Yenger; her sister, Nancy Sebesta; her brothers, James “Frog” Franks and Bobby Franks; and her beloved grandchildren, Layne and Landon Yenger, and Aimrey Metzroth.
