Thelma Gwaltney

  My father's sister, Thelma had bright red hair, She was wife, mother and a nurse. .We loved her dearly. She probably was the most intelligent person I ever have know not counting my Grandfather, Milton Powell. This is a picture of her after she left her abusive dunkard husband and took up her nursing career again. My father and Thelma were very close. She had 6 brothers and sisters and out lived them all.The last 10 years she lived with the effects of a massive stroke. Her one side was dead and she couldn't speak, daddy always said when Thelma gets that red hair hanging down in her face you had better watch out!
