Teresa Ann Newby

Teresa Ann Newby (Murray)

Teresa Ann Newby (Murray) passed away on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, surrounded by love, faith, and family. Teresa was born on January 31, 1948, in Shelbyville, Indiana.

Teresa loved to sing and never knew a stranger. She could strike up a conversation with anyone she met. Faith was an important part of Teresa’s life from the very beginning. She attended Oldenburg Academy, graduating in 1966.

Shortly after graduation, Teresa met and married Ken Gill. Together, they welcomed five children and built a family that would always remain close to her heart. Although their lives eventually took different paths, Teresa and Ken remained friends and continued to put their family first.

Above all else, Teresa loved being a mom, grandma, and great-grandma. Her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren meant the world to her, and her love for them knew no bounds.

Teresa later married Greg Newby, and together they shared a love for life on the open road as truck drivers. Teresa earned several awards for her driving accomplishments, achievements she was immensely proud of.

Teresa also felt incredibly blessed to have spent the last six years of her life with her best friend and loving partner, Jim Lukenbill.

Teresa is survived by her sisters, Sister Patricia Murray and Jo (Donna) Murray; brother, Pete (Susie) Murray; sons, Ken Jr. (Amy) Gill, Danny Gill, and Nathan Gill; and daughter, Becky (Adam) Yelner.

She is also survived by her grandchildren, Dominique Gill, Lauren Chancey, Caleb (Erin) Franklin, Lennon (John) Wilson, Seth (Heather) Yelner, Ashley Gill, Jacob Gill, Kayla (Cody) Goodrich, Callie Yelner, and Jeff Gill; and her great-grandchildren, Raylin, Fiona, August, Marcel, Micah, Percy, Luca, Aaliyah, Asher, and Ella.

Teresa was preceded in death by her parents, Paul and Nettie Murray; her brothers, Michael and Dion Murray; and her beloved son, Joseph Gill.

We love and miss all of you. Hug her tight for us. 🩷
