May Thurman Obituary

May Thurman, a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, passed away peacefully by the side of her devoted husband, Ken Thurman Sr.

Born in California, she met Ken while he was stationed in the Navy. After knowing each other for less than one month, they married-and spent over 60 beautiful years together, creating a legacy of love, faith, and family.

She is lovingly remembered by her husband Ken, her children Melissa (Jim) Bernard, Ken (Kim) Thurman Jr., and Kathy (Chris) Heinz, along with her many grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

A memorial for family and friends will be held in Rigby on May 17th, 2025. Drop in anytime from 2-5 PM.

Please text Kathy for location details or additional info. 509-222-9746.

In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the disabled veterans in her honor at the link below:
