Cities without a state are in Missouri
Jan. 19, 1957 – June 1, 2024
With a heavy heart, we announce the passing of our beloved Teresea Jean Page, who departed this life on June 1, 2024. Born on Jan. 19, 1957, in El Dorado, Kan., she was a beacon of reliability, thoughtfulness and spirited dedication throughout her 67 years of life.
Her thoughtful nature was evident in everything she did, from her nurturing care of her children to her dedicated service to customers during her career at Walmart in Carthage. Even in retirement, Teresea remained spirited and active, relishing the joy of being outdoors and cherishing every moment she spent with her family.
Teresea is lovingly remembered by her husband Stephen, to whom she was married for over 51 years; and their children Dawn (Keith) Spurgeon, Benjamin, Phillip, and James Page. She was preceded in death by her parents, James and Evelyn Chenault.

She was a devout Catholic, attending church daily, and living her life according to the teachings of her faith. She was a frequent bingo player, and a loving mother to her children. Her four-legged companions were her dog, Zoey, and three cats, Sapphire, Blackie, and Little Bit.

Joe spent more than 40 years in the construction industry, where he built lifelong friendships. He retired from Matt Denney Construction in 2018. After retirement he spent time serving at the Carl Junction American Legion Post 781 and spending time with his grandsons.

Papa never missed anything that involved the boys.
In 2016, Joe had the honor of being inducted into the Carl Junction Bulldogs Hall of Fame for his athletic accomplishments. Those accomplishments included setting school records in several track events and his stand-out football career.
In Joe’s words, his father taught him to always be humble, and he truly lived by that.
