Our beloved Thela was a loving, strong-willed soul who poured her heart into caring for others. She would give her last if it meant easing someone else’s burden. Full of wisdom, compassion, and quiet strength, she faced a battle many thought she could not endure, yet she walked it with grace and unshakable faith, trusting that God had a greater assignment for her as she transitioned on September 24.

As we honor Thela’s life and the incredible impact she had on all of us, we humbly ask for your support to help cover the costs of her services, remaining medical bills, and travel expenses for family members to gather and say farewell. Any contribution, big or small, will help us celebrate her life the way she deserves and allow her loved ones to come together in remembrance.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your love, prayers, and generosity during this time. Your kindness means more to our family than words can express.
