Thelma Mae Blanton Sides, 92, of Coleman, Texas, passed away Friday, October 1, 2021. Thelma was born to Roy L Blanton and Annie Mae Smith Blanton on October 7, 1928, in Gouldbusk, Texas. She had an elder brother, Edmond Blanton.

Thelma graduated from Mozelle High School. She married the love of her life, Chester Lowe Sides, on February 11, 1950. Together they raised their children, son Monte Lee Sides and daughter Mitzi Anne Sides McBee, in Coleman, Texas. Thelma was passionate about her family and considered herself blessed with seven grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.

Thelma worked at Bowen Drug, Brinks Drug, Cross Pharmacy, and Owl Drug in Coleman. Thelma was an active member of First Baptist Church and the Unity Sunday School Class in Coleman and served her community through the Meals on Wheels program. All who knew her will remember her passion for gardening and watching hummingbirds visit her home. She was an active participant in ranching on her family ranch, and left no one uncertain of her opinions. She leaves behind many treasured friendships and many unsolved crossword puzzles.

Thelma was preceded in death by her beloved husband, parents, and brother.

Thelma's grandchildren and great-grandchildren lovingly remember Grandmommy for all the memories made when they visited her at her house and the farm and when she travelled to visit them; the many meals and cookies she spoiled them with; her beautiful penmanship on each card she sent for every birthday, Christmas, and anniversary; and for setting the example along with Granddaddy of a lasting and loving marriage and family.
