If LIFE is our test/trials then my grandmother, Thelma I. Falch ACED IT! She lived her life like this: people matter most; Family, Friends, Neighbors, Caregivers, Acquaintences, even strangers. Give more than you take. Love Unconditionally without expecting anything in return. And leave your mark on this world when you depart. To sum up my grandma in just a few simple words: A NICE LADY. She lived a long, rich life; 4 days shy of her 95th birthday. Rest in PEACE my beloved Grandma!!!
Thelma was preceded in death by her parents: Harry Thermansen and Florence (Malchow ) Thermansen. Her daughter, Nancy Lee Johnson (son-in-law, William R. Johnson). Her husband, Reuben Falch. Her niece, Pat Clendening Weber (and Pat's husband, James H. Weber). Her brother-in-law, Duane Clendening.
Celebrating her life and the gift she was to us are: ME (Linda Johnson Coroleuski /Granddaughter and best friend) my husband, Gregg Coroleuski, who shared a special bond with her. Great Grandchildren, Michael Piotrowski and Samantha Jo Coroleuski. Catherine Piotrowski (David)/granddaughter. David Johnson/grandson. Sister, Harriett Clendening.
Niece, Diane Weber Moon (Rebecca, Matthew who shares grandma's Birthday, April 18th and Meghan). Nephew, James H. Weber II (Pamand Jamie). All the amazing, people at The Bethel Home who cared for Grandma and became her family when I couldn't be with her. To all of whom I owe gratitude beyond words. It didn't go unnoticed; nor taken for granted.
Visitation will be at the Bethel Home located at 225 North Eagle St., Oshkosh on Sunday April 29th from 1-3:00 pm. A private Family Celebration to follow. In lieu of flowers, donations to The Bethel Home would be immensely appreciated on Thelma's behalf/in her Memory.
