Birth date: May 16, 1942 Death date: Nov 14, 2023
I'd like the memory of me to be a happy one... I'd like to leave an afterglow of smiles when the day is done. Ms. Thelma Tingle Daniels entered into eternal rest on November 14, 2023. Read Obituary
I got an opportunity to meet Grandma Thelma through my best friend and Thelma’s granddaughter, Dr Damonica Gorrell.
I walked away confirming all her granddaughter had told me about her. She was eloquent and spoke with a great sense of confidence. She loved her family and will be greatly missed.
In my native igbo language tongue,
Ka mkpulu obi Thelma zulu ike n’ndo kwa!.
Iseeee!!.

Thelma was one of my older cousins who I always thought was so pretty and stylish. I remember her babysitting me and my sisters Charlotte and Alice one summer while our parents worked. She had a weird sense of humor since she thought scaring us with rubber spiders was funny. When we thought about it many years later and told my mother about it, we all laughed. I regret that we were not able to see or visit her these last few years, but we will always love and remember her. She’s the one who gave my brother Frank Jr. his nickname, Skipper. How could we ever forget her? She is in God’s care now.

Aunt Thelma was an important part of my life growing up. She always told me the truth no matter how hard it was. I knew it came from a place of love. Aunt Thelma was a sweet woman and was giver from her heart. I love me some Aunt Thelma and her candor, laughter, and wisdom will always be remembered by me.
Love,
Gayce
Thelma or Gigi as my cousins warmly called her was my mothers support system in Houston. Thelma opened her home to myself and my brother weekend after weekend. We were able to grow up with our cousins Damien and Damonica as well as Elliot. Thelma would care for us when my mother needed to run errands or just needed a break. My fondest memory of Thelma would have to be when she cooked for us. My cousins and I were out playing all morning and came in for lunch. I was starving excited to have my lunch of a sandwich or a lunchable , something kid friendly. We all gathered around the table stomachs growling ready to eat. Thelma places the largest plate of eggs and white rice I’d ever seen in front of me . Shocked because I wasn’t expecting it, I said in my kindest voice “ Oh no , I don’t eat this “ and Thelma replied “ well you gon eat it today “. Needless to say in 30 plus years I’ve never touch another egg. Sending love and strength to all who knew and loved Thelma. She will be missed dearly.
