Thelma was a beautiful , loving, kind, strong woman of God. She was a friend to everyone. She kept it real always. She was my sister and I loved her with all my heart. We played softball together for many years while in the military and after we both retired from the military. We traveled and roomed together on a regular basis when we played ball. You could not ask for a better friend whom you can trust and depend on. She was a jokester and entertainer and a great softball player. Thelma hold a special place in my heart forever 🙏🏾
Thelma was one of the brightest and most wonderful things about MDA. There was nothing that she could not do - no situation was too tough to solve - no emergency too late to salvage. She was so kind, happy, and thoughtful to everyone. And so efficiently capable. It is a shock that she is gone and MDA will not - cannot be the same without her. She is one of those special people that you feel so lucky to have known. She is with her God now and at peace.
To the family of Thelma, please accept my deepest condolences for the loss of such a beautiful person. I met Thelma in 2004 when I first joined MDA and fell in love with her spirit and common sense approach to life. I admired her drive and pursuit of sports and love of God and country. Thelma was a blessing to anyone who worked around her. She was never shy to offer a helping hand or advice. There are very few like Thelma around these days. Be comforted that Thelma is in God's presence where there is no sickness, hurt or tears - only joy! Bob Dearth, Fredericksburg, VA
Thelma was one of my closest friends and co-worker for more than 17 years, and I already miss her. She was a sympathetic listener, and her advice and counsel to me came from the purest of hearts. Thelma was there at the beginning of our central office, and to her belongs the credit for much of the team building and sustainment in the organization that served the Missile Defense Agency and the country so well for so many years. Not so many years ago she told me her dream for retirement was to buy a passenger van so she could provide transportation and other help to the old, infirm and disabled in her community. How wonderful is that! Thelma's spirit will surely live in all of us.


Our beloved Thelma, was amazing, brave, strong and very much loved. You always exhibited the attributes of peace, joy, and love. Even though life was full of concerns,
you always let us know that you loved and cared about us. This meant everything to us.
It breaks our hearts to let you go, but let you go we must. We will miss you and all the
wonderful things about you today and every day. So big Lou as we say our goodbyes,
rest in God's loving arms until we meet again. With much love, sadly...your family.

Doug's words and sentiments are beautiful as was Thelma. Doug is the boss, but many of us in his office knew the real boss was Thelma. She was the glue who kept all of us humming both literally and figurately. When Thelma was there we actually enjoyed going to work because she would always brighten our day. My wife and I shared an additional special bond with Thelma when Judy was going through a difficult time requiring surgeries similar to Thelma. They talked over the phone, laughed and prayed together. From "J.N." to "T.M." we will both miss you very much! For her family who she spoke of everyday please accept our sincere condolences. With Love, John and Judy Newcomb
