I deeply regret that I cannot attend the funeral service due to the flight situation during the Holidays. We siblings will all get together for a "Celebration of Thelma's life" at a later date. There is so much to celebrate about her life - she was such a sweet, caring and courageous sister. She never let her disability stop her from doing what she enjoyed: traveling the 50 states and many other world travels, teaching, sewing, cooking and doing things for others. She never complained and always saw the best in everyone. I will miss her laugh and smile she always had on her face. Thank you, Rusty, for lovingly caring for her all these years. Love, Ruth

Classmates and "major" mates, Thelma was always a Joy. Through Kathy Moon Jarrett her dear traveling friend I also met their husbands Leonard and Walter. Two sets of 2 friends became more than 4 friends. Thelma traveled the world, married, sewed, cooked, and lived a full but too short life. One of my "saints".
