Beloved wife for 66 years of Edward Willis Kapp and mother of the late Craig (Susan) Kapp, Boe Kapp, Dean (Sandy) Kapp, Kermit (Shelley) Kapp, Trina (John) Adams, Ross (Barb) Kapp and Jennifer (the late Michael) Janik. Also survived by 10 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren. Preceded in death by her sister Sharon Franek and survived by her sisters Lorraine Best and Pat Garver. Thelma, who literally and figuratively wore many hats in her life, had a love for her family that was exceeded only by her love for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, in whose presence she now has a peace beyond understanding. Her earthen vessel was donated to the Medical College of Wisconsin. A celebration of her life will be held on Saturday, June 27, 2015, at Evangel Assembly of God, 99th and Good Hope Road in Milwaukee, WI from 1PM to 4 PM.

Dear Kapp Family,
May God bless you all and lighten your grief at this sad time. Growing up living "kiddy-corner" across the street has blessed me with many fun filled thoughts of Thelma. Never at a lack for great conversation filled with common sense, she was a kind, eloquently spoken, and a well read woman of "many hats". She is remembered fondly and greatly missed.

Trinas' first friend,
Marie (Leinbeck) Bartz
