February 28, 1913 – September 27, 2010
Thelma passed away peacefully into the arms of her Lord at the age of 97 years on Monday, September 27, 2010 with family by her side. She was predeceased by her parents Garnet and Amy Cronk, brother Gavin Cronk and beloved husband Arthur Levson. Thelma was born in Edmonton but grew up in Thunder Bay, ON. Her father worked for the railroads which led to various relocation adventures including two years in California. The family settled in Winnipeg in 1937 where Thelma started a career as a comptometer operator (accounting business machines). She met her husband Arthur at Winnipeg Bible College and they were married in 1946. With the birth of her first son in 1948, Thelma started her “second career” raising four rambunctious boys. The family moved to Calgary in 1953. Thelma was active in ministry in the local Church at Calgary reaching out to help many in the local church, her neighbours and many friends. She is most “famous” for starting her painting career in her mid 80’s where she mastered many landscapes and wildlife. Thelma will be missed by her sons and her daughters-in-law, David (Midge), Dan (Ev), Phil and Vic (Barb); grandchildren, Sharlene (Paul Fritz) and family, John (Nancy) Levson, Steve (Meggan) Levson and family, Reanne (Lane) Price and family, Jess (Tim) Zielicke and family, Andrew (Shannon) Levson, Stephanie (Mike) Seabrook, Jess, Shauna and Nikki Levson, Tim, Sarah, Mary-Anne and Becky Levson; She will also be missed by her brother, Fred Cronk.
