Humphrey Jr., Henry, Jerry Deen, Levy, Diane, Ronald, Samuel, Larry, Shirley, Sharee, Mark, Danny, Bridget and Wonder were all blessed to call her their mother.
Thelma lived a full life as a wonderful mother and homemaker. She found enjoyment in attending church, outings with her closest friends and in her spare time, hosting her infamous Pokeno and card games. Known for her love of cooking; she had many favorite recipes that she whipped up with ease. Nook not only took care of her family, she was a kindhearted person, known for extending a helping hand to people around the neighborhood, especially those experiencing a difficult time in life. She welcomed all who were in need of a hot meal and a night's stay. Thelma kept an immaculate house, which could easily have over 20 people inside at once. Most importantly, Nook loved her family and instilled in her children strong values that have served her family very well.
