On August 13, 1948, a baby girl was born to Helen Marie Porter and Cain Crockett.  Her Aunt Jean named her Theressa Mae.

She attended Muskogee Public Schools, later graduating from Moton High School in Taft, Oklahoma.

Theressa met and married Andrue Samual Gandy in 1970.  Their union was blessed with four children;  Aundrea, Lachelle, Shawn and Shannon.  She was a loving mother, wife, sister and Aunt.  Mom's home was always a place of love and warmth for family and friends, as well as whomever she came in contact with.

On Saturday, April 28, 2018, Theressa Mae Gandy, in her 69 year of life, surrendered her soul to Jesus from Muskogee, Oklahoma.  She was preceded in death by her loving husband, Andrue Samual Gandy, her mother, Helen Porter, her father, Cain Crockett, two sisters, one brother and her grandparents.

Although she is going to her final resting place, we will all hold the memory of her in our hearts.  Two things about Mrs. Gandy was either she liked you or she didn't and she was very blunt and honest, regardless of your feelings, she told you just how it was. Better known as "Mae" or "Auntie Mae" to close family and friends, her famous words of encouragement was "I love you more!"

She leaves in God's care;  her four children, Aundrea, Lachelle, Shawn [Iresha], and Shannon;  twelve grandchildren; three great-grandchildren; two God-daughters, four sisters, one brother, a caravan of Aunts, Uncles, Nieces and Nephews, a host of other family members and many friends.

The Sacred Farewell for "Auntie Mae" will commence on Saturday, May 5, 2018 at 12 Noon in the most holy sanctuary of the Church of Christ, 18th and Denison Streets in Muskogee.  Her Pastor, Brother Eric Rodgers, will officiate.

Burial will be on Monday, May 7, 2018 at 11:00 AM in the Citizens Cemetery in Fort Gibson, Oklahoma.

You may visit Mrs. Gandy, on Friday from 3:00 PM until 6:00 PM at the 18th and Denison Church of Christ.
