Thelma Davis Obituary
Born in St. Mary's County, MD, on April 25, 1929, Thelma graduated from Towson State Teacher's College and went on to become a master teacher of middle school students. She married George on August 1, 1953, and they welcomed 4 children to their home in the next 4 years. George and Thelma moved to Pennsylvania in 2005 and spent the rest of their lives at the Willow Valley Retirement Community in Lancaster.
Family and friends will honor and celebrate Thelma's life at Evans Life Celebration Home- 3 Newport Drive (Rts 23 and 24) Forest Hill on Saturday, September 20 from 10-11AM with a funeral service to begin at 11AM. The funeral service will be live streamed via Evans website. Interment at Highview Memorial Gardens. Afterwards all are invited to a luncheon at a nearby venue. In lieu of flowers the family requests that donations be made to the Chesapeake Bay Foundation or St. Jude Children's Research Hospital- two charities that were dear to her heart.

I taught one year at Bel Air Middle School. Thelma reached out to me knowing how difficult that year was on me. Come to find out that she was related to one of the nicest man I knew from John Hanson Middle School in Waldorf, MD Thelma and I spoke daily. She was a sweet woman! Marguerita F. Smardzewski

Thelma Davis was a true teacher all her life. We appreciated her excellent role model of good balanced prudent living. She was not only a devoted teacher in the classroom, but also as a teacher in life. And we loved her for all her positive inspirations.
Love,
