Aunt Thelma was my favorite Aunt! She was full of life and always had a big smile on her face. She so appreciated family and loved all of us! She was a join to be around and you couldn’t help but want to spend more time with her. She enjoyed sharing family stories, especially about her brothers, Omer and Gene. She brought joy to our hearts and filled our lives with her love. She will be missed.
With deepest sympathy, The VanderGriend family.
