Thelma Opal Workman Funderburk Grissom Howell
**********
Opal's parents were John Lewis Calvin Workman (1885-1941) and Mary Angelene May Wolverton (1888-1972).
Her siblings were Ella Sherrod (1906-1906), Pearl May Sherrod, RN (1908-1987), Odis Earl Workman (1913-1931) and Ollie May Bell Workman (1915-1916).
Opal was the mother of Luella Workman, Allen Earl Funderburk, Elmer Ray Funderburk, Ruby Anna May Funderburk, Juanita Funderburk, Jeanita Funderburk, Sally Mabel Joyce Grissom, Lillie Glenda Lee Howell and John David Howell.
In her 82nd year, mother said that she was "tired and ready to go home". She stopped eating but said she'd stay until her children could be gathered to tell her goodbye. After the gathering, mother then refused any other nourishment. Intravenous feeding was to no avail and soon after she told us goodbye, mother was gone.
