Thelma was a kind and loving mother, spouse, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, sister-in-law, aunt, and friend to all who knew her.

Thelma loved her family and friends unconditionally and lived life to the fullest. She never failed to put a smile on the faces of others whether with her thoughtfulness or her unique sense of humor. Through her home cooked meals, words of affection, her stories or her songs she connected with ease to those around her and brought joy to many lives.  

Thelma will be missed by her loved ones immensely, however, they will honor her memory by living each day, as she would hope, finding the humor and joy in life's precious moments.

The family would like to warmly thank the physicians, nurses, and other health care professionals at Western Memorial Regional Hospital who cared for Thelma with great compassion and dedication in the last months and weeks of her life. Your kindness will not be forgotten.

A visitation for family and friends will take place at Fillatre’s Funeral Home, 4 St. Mark’s Avenue on Wednesday, April 10, 2024 from the hours of 2-4 pm & 7-9pm.

As an expression of sympathy, donations in Thelma’s memory may be made to the charity of your choice.
