Mrs. Thelma Cornelius, 60, N. Lombardy, South Bend, IN was called home on Tuesday, February 16, 1999.

She was born in Swiftown, MS. on October 9, 1938, to the union of Robert and Jessie Mae Gammage Sr. who both preceded her in death.

She was married on September 20, 1958, to Pervus Cornelius who preceded her in death. They had a son, Jeffery, who preceded her in death.

She is survived by four brothers, Robert (Marcia) Gammage Jr. of South Bend, IN; Carl (Brenda) Gammage of East Point, GA; Nyling Gammage of South Bend, IN, and Albert (Bertha) Gammage of Lawrenceville, GA; two grandchildren Laquita and Jeffery Comelius Jr. of Phoenix, AZ; and a host of nieces and nephews.
