Thelma lived for her husband, children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. Her love was flawless, never ending, and unbiased. She was most happiest when she was caring for her family, from cooking, cleaning, playing a game of tag, or rubbing out growing pains. She had an eye for antique’s, treasures, and rare finds. She grew up in the depression and had the ability to make something from nothing. She will be dearly missed by her family whose only comfort can be found in the many cherished memories they share and knowing that she is with the love of her life once again.
