Thelma HOUSTON Obituary

HOUSTON, Thelma Virginia born December 8, 1924 in Seven Mile, OH to James and Rosa Isaacs, returned home on April 14, 2017. Survived by children, Bob, Betty, Hazel and Kathy; grandchildren, Jennifer Woulard, Heather (Patrick) Cashman and Whitney and Beau Houston; great-grandchildren, Jordana, Cienna and Zachery Cashman. Devoted and loyal, Virginia was a choice daughter of God who touched many with her loving and feisty spirit. After retiring from Pima County Purchasing she dedicated her efforts to serving on the Amphi School Board where she advocated for the children she loved. God and family were her priorities and she was happiest when serving them. Always faithful, she served others through many callings in the LDS Church and was looking forward to the opening of the Tucson Temple. Services will be held on Saturday, May 6, 2017 at the LDS Arrowsmith Chapel at 55 W. Arrowsmith Dr., Oro Valley. A family Visitation will be at 9:00 a.m. followed by Memorial Service at 10:00 a.m. Donations can be made to the 9P-Minus Foundation. Arrangements by DESERT SUNSET FUNERAL HOME.

To Virginia's Dear Family,

I have been out-of-town and deeply regret that I didn't get to lend support to your family and say my farewell to beautiful woman who I considered a dear friend. I was blessed that she walked in my life.

Virginia and I first met while working for Pima County and our paths crossed again at Amphi District. The personal times that we shared were always very special to me. She was a woman with compassion and love that extended to the children of Amphitheater School District. She was their advocate and many times I saw her exhausted but slowing down wasn't
an option because to her the students came first.

Please know that I also deeply feel your loss. It will be difficult at times but smile when you think of your mother/grandmother she was the BEST and her love for you will always live in your hearts.

God bless you,
Mary Ann Foran

Virginia was one of the finest ladies we have ever met. We knew her from Amphitheater Public Schools and had nothing but respect and love for her. Our prayers will be with all of her family. William and Kathy Westmoreland
