My sincere condolences to Thelma “s family … she will always be in my memory……

Beautiful lady inside and out. Always felt welcome in her home. Wonderful aunt to my husband Bill in his youth.

Karrie, Gail, Mike and Jeff I was extremely saddened to hear the news of your mother.  Thelma was a very special lady and I am so thankful I had the opportunity to know her.  I will always treasure my time with her especially the trips to the beach that Ronald and I shared with her, Gerald and Joyce.  It was such fun to watch those three together.  She was always the gracious host and went out of her way to make us feel welcome.  Unfortunately, I am out of town and cannot attend the service but please know you are in my heart and thoughts.  May  your precious memories bring you comfort. 
With love, Debra Withers

A very kind, caring and strong person. She will be missed by many! It  has truly been an honor for our family to have known her so many years.

Maw maw your were the sweetest and most precious to everyone you have crossed paths with. You touched so many lives and were the rock in our family. To hear that you are gone is still somewhat unreal in my mind. You were my super hero growing up. You took care of me and jeffrey, introduced me to my first ever peanut butter and apple butter sandwich which i still love to this day. You were always there when me, jeffery, brandon and jared were growing up. Then Wesley and Jake got to share the same experiences with you that we had. Everyone is so heartbroken, but i know you wouldnt want us to be. Fly high in the heavens Maw Maw. You will always be remembered and never forgotten I love you so much tell paw paw and uncle Ken hello for me ❤️

I’m at a loss for words,  Thelma was a sweet soul she also was my going out buddy, we had some of the best times just being us!!!  Lot’s of laughs and good times!!  As time went on we lost touch as most do!!!  But I will always cherish the memories!!!  Gail, Karen, Mike and Jeff you are all in my prayers rest assured she is at peace!!

I just love aunt Thelma,  when it would snow, I would stay with Thelma, we always had the best time, we would hang out with Gail an Wesley and catch up and have some great laughs,  as years passed I would go over and just talk, she loved her family and she loved people. Everyone that knew her, will miss her! Now she is with her love, Whitey and son Ken and her loved ones that had passed, until we meet again, love you!
