She had a great love of genealogy and spent many years searching her ancestral line. In her early years of marriage, she worked at Hill Air Force Base and sold cosmetics for House of Stuart. She educated herself through her love of reading. Thelma was a strong and determined woman. She raised her children with an iron hand but a loving heart.
