Terease Ann Nicholson

On Thursday, June 19, 2025, an Angel was dispatched from Heaven to seal the lips and close the eyes of sister Terease Ann Nicholson for her homegoing journey.

Terease was born August 31, 1975, to Ms. Gladys Nicholson and the late William Earl Nicholson in Moore County, North Carolina. She graduated from Richmond Senior High School in Richmond County, North Carolina. She confessed Christ at an early age and joined Holly Grove Missionary Baptist Church, Rockingham, NC. She was a dedicated and faithful member. She was on the Usher Board and had attained special recognition for excellence as a Doorkeeper in God’s House.
