I met Thelma several years ago when she and her friend Elsie were having coffee at Marvelous Muffins in the mall. I was still working at Sears at the time. Thelma was a very nice looking 'older' person with a very pleasant personality. I missed visiting with her when she decided to go into care. She was always interested in what was going on. My Condolences to the family.

I got to know Thelma in my role as Restorative Care Aide at Royal City Manor. We established a nice friendship and I will miss her very much. Please accept my sincere condolences and apology for not being able to attend the funeral. It is at à time when Ism working and my employer will not grant me time off to attend as Iam not a family member. I spent many memorable times with Thelma providing her with Therapeutic hand massage and exercise to help her with her rheumatoid arthritis. Thelma was a great conversationalist and we reminisced together about our past life experiences. She always made me laugh.
