These are pictures from my Aunt Thelma's 94
th birthday party last year.
The top picture is with Thelma and her daughter Cindy who she has taken care of until last Tuesday when she passed way in her sleep.
Thelma out lived 2 husbands raised 9 children she had 161 great grand children and 18 great great grand children.
She had a wonderful life, with several trials.
I always loved to go visit Aunt Thelma & Cindy! She was a fabulous cook and she made my first pant suit when I was in 6th grade and the school district finally allowed girls wear pants! This was HUGE! I was so proud of my polyester pant suit.
Thelma loved to garden and was good at it!
She served in the Las Vegas Temple for several years she retired when she was 92!
When I got the call on Tuesday morning about her passing away, I came to my computer and pulled out my pictures of her birthday and her testimony she wrote for me 5 years ago!
She was devoted to her Heavenly Father & family!
I am so blessed to have great example of strong women in my life. And they all are devoted to their church and their family! Both of these things have gotten them thru the hard times in life, and it is their example that I look to when I am going thru trails.
In the bottom picture is mom in the purple her sister Mable Mitchell who is 93 and my Uncle Dick is 87.
