She was a daughter, a sister, an aunt, a wife, a loving mother, an amazing grandmother, and a good friend to so many. She cherished them all so very much.

Thelma was such a social butterfly. She loved her square dancing and playing Bingo. Thelma was a Wahoo- Domino Card playing queen, a skill she passed to all her grandchildren and many greatgrandchildren. She set a beautiful example for her family. She taught them what a hard worker was. S h e worked as a waitress for over 40 years. She was known for her stylish appearance. Even at 100 years old, she always had her best outfit, jewelry, and red lipstick on. A memory all will never forget.

How wonderful it will be to see her again one day. We look forward to the fulfillment of God’s promise found at John 5:28-29.
