Thelma Ruby Riley

Think of Bruce and Loeen often. Wonder where you are and how you are. I'm 80 so life is still great with God in it.

Bud, Christie met your sister only a few times but always commented about her pleasant personality.

I have some childhood memories but as you know, you were one of the few with whom I had any contact.

Please pass along our condolences to your extended family members. Hope your procedure went well. Best Wishes. Tony & Chistie

Bruce: When your Mother came to Alva for holiday, we would visit and talk abour our Grandpa and grand Mother Beadles. She was always happy and made everyone feel good. God Bless you and yours

I am Thelma's cousin. I am so thankful that i am a christian and
know that i will see her again. We praise God for Thelma.

For the entire Riley family, I am sorry to hear of the loss of your mother and grandmother Thelma. I know you will all miss her greatly, but we have hope of eternal life and will see her again. I have known Thelma and her family since I was a teen. She was a toughie where all of us teens were concerned, but we knew it was because she loved all of us. Thelma had such a sweet, gentle and loving spirit and everyone knew the Lord was number one in her life. She is now safe in the arms of Jesus...

Bruce,
I am so sorry for your loss. Losing a parent is always difficult, no matter how old we are. I'll keep your family in my prayers.

She took care of me as a child, and then after my husband passed, she just picked up where she left off and took care of me and my children. She got me thru some of the hardest spiritual times of my life, because of her I have known Jesus all my life. She has...

I'm not quite sure how she did it, but Grandma Riley managed to keep everyone around her in line; her kids, her grandkids, and lets not forget all of the adoptive kids and grandkids she took in, which is where I fall in. She let us know she loved us with all her heart, but that Jesus was first in her life as it should be for us as well. You always knew where she stood on just about every issue, she told it how it was. I respected her, I loved her, and I appreciated and admired the examples...

Grandma Thelma was a huge part of my childhood. I did not have grandparents of my own and she and Wayne lovingly took on those roles for me and my sister when we were young and needed it most. Grandma and Grandpa are the reason for my faith in our Lord today; Grandma never forgot to remind me were my priorities needed to be when it came to going to church. Grandma’s unconditional love for our Lord was such an inspiration. I am truly a better person because of her and I am so blessed to have...
