Teddie Rae Freeman, Born March 10, 1974, In Terre Haute, In. to Peggy Church Freeman and Ted Freeman, passed away peacefully of natural causes in her home on Sunday, April 13, 2025.

She is a 1993 graduate of Terre Haute North High School; a great and proud accomplishment. She will be lovingly remembered for her kind heart and her delight in life’s simple joys. Teddie had a deep love for movies, with Matilda being her all-time favorite. She cherished her collection of baby dolls and was a devoted fan of Hello Kitty, which brought her endless happiness. She had a sharp and playful sense of humor; it brought her much delight anytime anyone would curse. She loved mischievously flipping people off to get a laugh. A firecracker through and through, Teddie’s spirited personality was a joy to the people who love(d) her.
