Thelma enjoyed gardening and collected angels.
She never met a stranger and was always there for
her family. Her smile could light up a room and
sparkled even more than the jewelry that often
adorned her every finger.
Memorials may be made to the American Lung
Association or American Cancer Society and will be
accepted at the funeral home.
