Thelma was predeceased by her doting husband Elwin (March 26, 2024) her parents, three brothers, and extended family.
Left to grieve are her children Jeff (Leah), Leanne (Gord), Brad (Robin); adored grandchildren: Stefan, Jackson, Alex, Emma, Sofie, Sam and their fabulous partners; cherished great-grandchildren: Walker, Nora, and Jonesy; her dear brother Garry (Linda), in-laws Irene, Ethel, Jim, Cecil, Margaret, Brian, and Claudette; and many, many wonderful nieces and nephews and their families.
As a young woman from Pelly, Saskatchewan, Mom set off to the big city of Regina and became a dental hygienist. She met Dad who, frightened at his first check up, promptly bit her fingers. It was love and 1961, so she gave up her career to have babies and be a wife but rejoined the workforce as an entrepreneur when she and Dad purchased an automotive parts business in 1971. They worked together until their retirement in 1997.
Saint Joseph’s Residence, the Grace Hospital, Deer Lodge Geriatric Care and Sturgeon Creek Assisted Living gave compassionate care during Mom’s final year. We, as a family, are thankful for all these relationships and the loving care she received, especially from Noelle.
Many people have shared comments and fond memories of Mom. She touched many lives.

We met Elwin and Thelma in Texas, and shared many fun years together, be it golf, bridge, dances visits in Flin Flon and Winnipeg plus our good times in Texas. We miss you both. Wally and Rose-Marie - Posted by: Wally and Rose-Marie Ariko (Friends) on: Feb 22, 2025
