She was "Mimi" to her five grandchildren: Robert E.

Born in Watertown, MA, on January 12, 1918, she was a 1936 graduate of Watertown High School. Thelma was a great cook who loved reading cookbooks for enjoyment as well as to get fresh ideas for feeding her family and friends. She also enjoyed bingo and going to the beach; she loved everything about the ocean.

Our "Mimi" was admired and loved by all who knew her and will be deeply missed.
