  Thelma S. Pappas 
   
  LEBANON Thelma Sabocsik Pappas, 89, died Tuesday, May 3, 2011, in her home in 
  Lebanon. A life-long champion of service to the community and to countless 
  people in central Pennsylvania, she touched many lives in a positive way by 
  providing service in the healthcare profession, political leadership, teaching 
  in the schools, and through her devotion to the church. She taught Social 
  Studies, English, and Mathematics for 29 years in the Coatesville Area School 
  District. Through the 1970's and into the 80's, she worked for the State of 
  Pennsylvania in the Bureau of Rural Affairs as Coordinator of Consumer 
  Services, focusing on nutrition and public health. By the mid-1980's she became 
  an LPN and worked in healthcare facilities throughout the Lebanon area as well 
  as for a time in Florida. Well into her 80's, Thelma worked as a nurse 
  specializing in in-home care in Lebanon. She was a passionately involved 
  political volunteer, working with both the Democratic Party and, toward the end 
  of her life, the Republican Party as a district committee chair of elections. 
  She was a member of the United Methodist Church of the Good Shepherd of 
  Lebanon. She is survived by a brother, Orlando Shalley of Las Vegas, Nev.; two 
  daughters, Robin Pape of Martin, Tenn., and Beverly Harris of Lebanon; five 
  grandchildren, Mark Simmons, Todd, Malik, Roger, and Danny; and six great-
  grandchildren. She was preceded in death by a grandson, Brian Simmons. Funeral 
  services were held on Saturday, May 7, 2011, at her church, with the Rev. Mary 
  Ellen B. Beckman officiating. Thompson Funeral Home, Inc., Lebanon, was 
  entrusted with the arrangements.
