Teresa Barnes

Teresa Annette Barnes, 59, of Frederick, Maryland, passed from this life on November 30, 2019 at Frederick Memorial Hospital. She was the beloved wife of 26 years to Paul Matthew Barnes, Jr.

Born on March 9, 1960 in Olney, Maryland, she was the daughter of Clyde Eugene and Mabel Bernice (Steelman) Thompson. Teresa worked for many years alongside her brother at Thompson’s Safes until the last few years. In her spare time, Teresa loved to go shopping, take trips to Myrtle Beach and travel with her family.
