Blessed with a long life, Thelma had many cherished friends and hobbies, including the McLean Newcomers Club, serving on the Board of Directors and many committees for her condominium, as well as hosting many lively groups for mahjong and card games. She took great pleasure in teaching others and was quite a skilled player herself. She had a curious mind and loved learning, reading, and listening to music.
