Help us celebrate Thelma! Please share your stories and photos, and invite others who remember Thelma.
Thelma Lee Arnold, 84, of Midkiff WV, went peacefully to her heavenly home after years of suffering with Parkinson's Disease, on June 24, 2020 at the home of her loving daughter and son in-law in Beckley WV. She was born June 18, 1936 to Clarence and Mary Sias of Midkiff WV. Thelma is now reunited with the love of her life and husband of 50 years Edward "Red" Arnold. Together they raised three children. She was a dedicated wife and mother, always putting their needs before her own.
Thelma will be remembered as a kind and caring soul, seeing the best in everyone she came in contact with. Always welcoming them into her home and giving them a meal. Her love for the bible is something she shared with her children and grandchildren. One of her joys was taking Adriana and Caleb to Sunday school and just spending time with Ava.
A special thank you to her sister Bessie Adkins. Bessie is her lifelong best friend, caregiver and following the death of Red, her roommate. Thank you Aunt Bessie we love you.
Funeral Service will be 2:00pm Friday June 26, 2020 at Pine Grove Methodist Church 997 Nine Mile Creek Road, Midkiff WV 25540 with Rev. Paul Stevens officiating.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made in Thelma's name to Hospice of Southern WV, 454 Cranberry Drive, Beckley WV 25801, for they were a bright light in her last months.
