To the entire family our thoughts and prayers are with you. Your mom and grandma was so dear to everyone at Skutt. She was everyone’s Grandma and had a way of making you feel special. Pure class in every way. Our life is so much better for having her a part of it. Her Christmas cookies were just as special as her. Heaven got an Angel on earth ❤️ Love the Engelkamp Family xo
Mrs. Wesely was a great coach and mentor when I was in volleyball at St Pius- I will never forget her.
Condolences to the family, you are in my prayers

I am sorry to hear of Thelma’s passing. I have often thought of her and other ladies that my mom knew. Sending prayers for your family.
My heart is broken that Aunt Thelma is no longer with us, but I know she is in a better place. She is my favorite Aunt because she reminds me so much of my own mom. I loved her dearly and will miss her. Although it has been a while since I have seen her, I listened in on many of her and mom’s phone conversations. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and wish we could be there for you all. We love you.
Thoughts and prayers for you all and so sorry to hear about Aunt Thelma and sending you all my love
Deeply saddened to hear of Thelma’s passing. Her brother and me loved her dearly. She was “one of a kind”. And, everyone that met her immediately loved bed her. Enjoyed her annual visits for crabs that her brother, Shorty , and friends caught. She was a classy lady always. Will miss her dearly ❤️ Love always, Anne Shelton
Condolences to the family. I am saddened to hear of Thelma’s passing. She will be sorely missed. She was such a beautiful, loving person and was always smiling.
I haven’t seen her in years but I I remember her fondly.
Although I am just a friend of the family she always gave me big hugs, I remember her coming to eat crabs at Anne and Stan’s in the summer, we would exchange recipes all the time. What a classy lady she was. Heaven just received a beautiful Angel..
So sorry for your loss. The Kuehn and Lashley family send our thoughts and prayers. I remember when she first meet us she treated like she knew us all for a very long time and that we were part of the family.
Sharon and family, I am so sorry. Words cannot express the news I just read.. I will keep all of you in my prayers! My sincerest condolences.
I was saddened to learn about your loss. May your memories with her give you peace and comfort.
Loved your Mom and love your whole family. Us Cannons know what it is like to lose our Mom and we know the sadness and grief journey can be intense. Know of our love and friendship during this journey ahead. She was and is a great one and now with you always in spirt until you meet again.
We loved Thelma and the whole family! She was a great neighbor – the absolute best! Our son Jacob has known the ‘grandma next door’ since the day we brought him home from the hospital as an infant. He grew up doing small chores like grabbing the mail or fetching stray trash cans. We will cherish her kindness and the fun times we shared. Oh and those Christmas goodies too! Wishing the entire family comfort in remembering Thelma’s kind spirit. Hugs and prayers for your loss.
So sorry for your loss, hugs and prayers to the family
