- Guestbook
Thelma was born on July 8, 1941 in Tulsa, Oklahoma. She played the flute in the Tulsa High School Band. She had an artistic streak like her dad Ralph Howser. Thelma enjoyed camping and traveling to the Hill Country, Big Bend, and the Texas Coast with her family. She especially loved flying with Bill in their airplane!
Thelma spent time running their grocery stores alongside Bill. She also earned her cosmetology license and worked for 15 years as a cosmetologist. Following that, she worked as a travel agent for several years. Later in life, Thelma worked as a Day School Teaching Assistant at University Methodist Church. She revived her love for music by playing the flute in the church orchestra.
Thelma lived these past ten years with Chris and family in San Antonio. Thelma enjoyed being in the Hill Country and spent her last six months with her son, Mike, at her ranch. Thelma unexpectedly passed away at the place she loved most at her ranch in Center Point, TX.
A memorial service for Thelma will be Friday, September 1, 2023, 10:30 am, at University Methodist Church, 5084 DeZavala Road, San Antonio, Texas, 78249.

You were such a sweet and loving person. We would always laugh when we were together. I enjoyed the times we sold tacos at UUMC, times at the Day school, and conversations on the phone. Rest my friend and dance with your husband again.

I remember Thelma as a very protective and caring mother in law. She worried about her family members no matter how safe or unsafe the event or endeavor was. I heard stories from Chris and Mike how protective she was as a mom. Thanks for the care and concern all these years. As a mom and grandma, I totally get it. May you rest in heaven without worry or any concerns.
