Terasa Melinda “Teddy” (Nuckols) Painter, 78, of Stuarts Draft passed away on Thursday, July 2, 2026 at the Shenandoah Hospice House, Fishersville.
Born July 31, 1947 in Augusta County, she was the daughter of the late Herbert Thomas and Cecil (Doyle) Nuckols.
Prior to her retirement, Teddy was employed by NIBCO, where she dedicated many years of service in the payroll department. She was a lifelong member of Calvary United Methodist Church in Stuarts Draft. Teddy found great joy in spending time with her family, browsing yard sales and thrift stores, playing solitaire, and caring for her beloved Yorkshire terriers, Muffy and Shelly. She will be remembered as a loving mother, devoted grandmother and great-grandmother, and caring aunt whose warmth and presence will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Wayne Edmond Painter.
