Thelma filled many loving roles in her life of over 100 years. 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 square dancing and playing Bingo. Thelma was a Wahoo- Domino- Card playing queen, a skill she passed to all her grandchildren and many great-grandchildren. She set a beautiful example for her family. She taught them what a hard worker was. She 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.

The family would also like to send a special thank you to all the staff at the Seminole Care and Rehabilitation Center for all the loving care they gave Thelma while she was there. She made many friends.

Graveside service will be held Saturday, September 20th, 2025 at 10am at Centrahoma Cemetery under the direction of Brown’s Family Funeral Home.
