Teresa Ann Dalton

Teresa Ann Dalton, née Spencer, peacefully passed away on May 27, 2026, in Indianapolis, Indiana. Born on May 9, 1958, Teresa’s life was a testament to kindness, humor, and unconditional love.

She was a graduate of Perry Meridian High School. Her warmth touched all who knew her, especially her children and family, whom she loved with her whole heart. Teresa had a remarkable ability to see the good in people, a beautiful lesson she shared with those around her.

Teresa is survived by her children, Erica Dalton and Leo J. Dalton III, along with Melissa; her grandchildren, Alexa McEwen (Antonio), Destiny Clark (Dylan), Natalie Byers, Samuel Dalton, Abigail Dalton, Daniel Rivera, and Kingston Baker; and five great-grandchildren who brought immense joy to her later years. She also leaves behind her siblings Gail Fields (Dan), John Hancock, Paula Gunderman (David), Phillip Spencer Jr., and Tony Ward, as well as several nieces and nephews. Always faithful and loving was her devoted dog, Scooter.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Phillip Deane Spencer and Marjorie Jean (May) Spencer; her sister, Linda Hilderbrand; and her lifelong partner and the love of her life, Randy Fancher.

Teresa’s spirit is now free from the challenges of life and she is home with the Lord. Her legacy will live on in the hearts of her family and friends.

We honor Teresa’s memory and hold her dearly in our thoughts, grateful for the gift of her presence among us.

A memorial of life will be held at a future date. In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to the Salvation Army online at https://give.salvationarmyusa.org/
