We, the THIBODO family, wish to express our sincere condolences at this time. Zelma represented class and style in an era of blue jeans and t-shirts. She was definitely unforgetable.

Mrs Hercey was a beautiful lady. I always looked up to her. She has been an inspiration to me and others. Connie you know, you are in my prayers and God will continue to bless and keep you. Knowing she is at peace with no more pain or suffering is comforting. May God give you the comfort and peace that you need. Love you,

Zelma was a strong woman, who exemplified elegance, yet expressed humility and surrender during her illness. It is an honor and a blessing for me to hear her say, "....I have no regrets." Therein, I have no doubt that she is in perfect peace.
May God embrace her soul and continue to bless her in eternal life. Zelma Hercey, you will be missed!
