Thelma Virginia Peacock

85, died April 17, 2007 at Porter Hospice. She was born in Greeley, CO on November 29, 1921. As a teenage bride during the Great Depression, she and her husband were part of the desperate exodus to California to find work and loved to tell interesting stories to her relatives and friends about those hard times. Life eventually became easier and Thelma kept herself busy raising a family and became an ardent quilt maker and crafter. She made about 100 quilts in her life time and numerous other smaller articles. Her special love was the Salvation Army and a leading member of the Home League.

She was preceded in death by her firstborn, a daughter, Virginia, who died at the age of 7, and by her husband, Jack Peacock, in 1985. She is survived by 2 sons, Gary Lee Parks of Sacramento, CA and David M.
