Thelma Hedges

The life and spirit of Thelma Hedges will be celebrated at a memorial service to be held at First Presbyterian Church in Jefferson, IA at 2:00 pm, Saturday, Oct 1 , 2016 followed by a reception beginning at 3:00 pm.

Thelma was born and raised in Sioux Center. She met the love of her life, George, when she attended Iowa State. They were married in 1961. They raised four children on a farm near Scranton. Her faith in God came first and led her to become a lay minister. She loved to preach. Thelma loved life, especially traveling and new adventures. But most of all she enjoyed spending time with her family and friends.

Her incredible spirit lives on in the lives she touched.

George Hedges, husband, and children Holly Carter (Andrew), Chrystal Stanley (John), Bryan Hedges (Schelly), and Brent Hedges will cherish the memories they have had with her. She enjoyed her time with her 14 grandchildren and 11 great grandchildren. Remaining to celebrate her life are her 3 sisters. Thelma was preceded in death by her brother and her parents. 

In lieu of flowers, memorial gifts can be given to Samaritans Purse or Heifer Project.
