Teddi Josephine Robertson Ross, age 79, died peacefully surrounded by her family, December 6, 2021, at her home in Payson, Utah. She was born November 3, 1942, in Payson, Utah, to Ted and Nellie Robertson. She graduated, in 1961, from Payson High School.
On September 14, 1962, Teddi married Roger Ross; she was happily married for 59 years.
Teddi worked for Nebo School District for 23 years as a lunch lady and custodian. She also worked at Mountain View Hospital as a Dietitian.
As a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, she served as a Counselor in the Primary Presidency and Branch Relief Society Presidency. She also served as a Cub Scout Leader. She held many callings and enjoyed serving others.
Teddi loved camping and boating with her family. She loved sewing, needle point, crocheting, making quilts and baby blankets. She enjoyed teaching dance lessons and did so for 10 years. She also enjoyed coaching her daughter’s softball team for many years. In her later years, Teddi’s happy place was going for rides in the car with her husband. She loved going on long rides with family to see the scenery and especially wildlife.
Teddi was the most kind, loving, generous, caring, selfless wife, mom, and grandmother that anyone could ask for. She loved all her children unconditionally. She had a contagious laugh, and she was filled with charisma and spunk. She was passionate and had a love for life. She had a heart as pure as gold.
Teddi is survived by her husband, Roger L. Ross; children: Rodney (Lisa) of Toquerville, Utah; Gavin (Angela) of Genola, Utah; Eric (Desiree) of Payson, Utah; Blake (Sara ) of Salem, Utah; Cara (Anthony Person) of West Valley City, Utah; and grandchildren: Eric, Jordan, Spencer, McKenzie, Jacob (& Sadie), Aaron (& Erin), Brooklyn, Aspen, Bryton, Rylee, Kael, Maddy, and Tavian; as well as great grandchildren: Paisley, Sophia, Canyon, Remi, Oliver, and Kenan.

The family would like to thank Suncrest Hospice for their outstanding care, love, and support during our family’s time of need. Thank you, Danica Harmon and Charlene Brailsford, for all your hard work. We are forever grateful for both of you.
A graveside service for Teddi will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Friday, December 10, 2021, at Payson City Cemetery, 400 North 800 East, Payson, Utah 84651.

December 10, 2021 at 9:38 pmIt’s been a lot of time since I’ve seen my cousin Teddi Jo, how ever my thoughts of her have been often especially this last month, my wife and I have been up north for doctors appointments… we would talk about the old family reunions and how much fun they were. Our mothers and some of the dads were involved in keeping us as close as they could. Uncle Ted was just as rambunctious as his sisters, he was made Judge for all the jail birds that got out of line…I sure did love this family, at the reunions we went to, whenever you saw Teddi you always got to see all her sisters these little blondes were always together it was a lot of fun. When we were younger our parents would always make sure we got together just for a day of fun or 2 or 3 days up Diamond Fork… it is so amazing how time can fly right past you, some of these memories seem just like yesterday and what in the heck here we are in our young years of 70’s +… to all of Teddi Jo’s family I would like to tell you how very sorry we are for your precious loss our thoughts and prayers are with you all… please know we definitely would have been there but I just found out at 1;00 today what time the services were, so very sorry… but our thanks go out to Jenna for letting our daughter know… please let us know if we could do something for any of you… I’m Gene Davis one of Aunt Clea’s twins…PS I would love to hear from any of you.
