She was a member of the Bayou Chene Missionary Baptist Church. Thelma was a very 
loving devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother and great-great

make her homemade fresh baked bread, for Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New 
Years her cornbread dressing was at the top of the menu list. One of the 
families special treats was her steen syrup popcorn balls. If we'd list all the 
favorite foods she prepared for her family the list would be never ending.

side-by-side her husband supporting their family through trapping, alligator 
hunting, craw fishing, shrimping and cat fishing.
