Theresa Lynn Lemley

March 31st, 1962 - August 20th, 2024

Theresa Lynn Lemley, 62, passed away on Tuesday, August 20, 2024, in Lexington, KY. She was born on March 31, 1962, in Albuquerque, NM to the late Nettie Coyle Hartley.

Theresa found great joy in spending time with her family and friends. She was considered a very dependable employee, dedicating most of her work tenure to customer service under Office3sixty (formerly known as Cardinal Office Products). Theresa was a proud homeowner and spent much of her free time working on home projects. She will be remembered for her passion for supporting UK football and basketball, her interest in ghost hunting shows, Dancing with the Stars, and Lifetime movies, as well as her love for Diet Coke, jigsaw puzzles, and cross-stitching. Theresa certainly touched the hearts of everyone around her and she will always be known for her caring and agreeable disposition.

A “Celebration of Life” Memorial will be held for Theresa on Saturday, September 7th from 1-4pm at Clark Legacy Center in Woodford County, KY (3000 Versailles Rd, Frankfort, KY 40601) with speeches of remembrance beginning at 3pm.

I knew Theresa for 15 or 20 years from coming in Cardinal Office. We used to cut up with one another all the time. I thought so much of her, she was so nice to me, she was my buddy, but I guess she was like that with everyone else. Since they stop letting folks come into Cardinal Office in person, I had to talk to her on the phone, but it just was the same as talking to her in person. My heart and prayers is with all the family. Theresa will definitely be missed. David Rice

I met Theresa in 1987 and we were great friends ever since. I could always be myself around her. She was one of the sweetest, most caring people I know. We went through a lot of life's ups and downs together. I love and will miss her so much. Not to be able to text her, call her, visit her is heartbreaking. I love you my friend and I know I will see you again some day and that gives me comfort.❤️

I had the privilege of having Theresa as a sister in law for a number of years as well as working with her. She was a caring, hard working and a wonderful person to be around. I had not seen her for a while but saw her last April at a birthday party and it was like we had seen each other every day for over 40 years. My heart breaks for her family, she loved them with all her heart. I pray in time their sorrow is soon filled with her smiles, love and memories. God has a true Angel that will continue to watch over those that she loves. .
