Thelma began writing her life’s story on July 3, 1933. Thelma dedicated 35 years to educating young children in Campbell County. Her scrapbook of students was her prized possession, and former students would often approach her and ask if she remembered them, to which she always replied with a warm "yes." Thelma's faith in God and creative spirit brought joy to all those around her, and her legacy will live on through the lives she touched.
