Collins February 6, 1929 - August 25, 2018 In loving memory of Thelma L. Collins, age 89, who passed away peacefully on Saturday, August 25, 2018, following a brief illness. Thelma Glessner was born on February 6, 1929, in Waterville, WA. As a young girl (identical twin sister, Velma), they were raised on the farm in Mansfield, WA. Thelma was married to Grover Collins, the "love of her life," on July 4, 1944, at the age of 15! They were happily married for 66 years and lovingly raised three children: Grover Paul, Carmen, and Reggie. She was a giver, never asked for anything, and everyone else always came first, especially her children and their families. She went to work at an early age, helping the family. During Thelma's life, her only job other than mothering was working at Beebe Orchard Company as an apple packer, which by the way... she was one of the best at. Paid by the box, each apple was wrapped by hand with the label facing up! Thelma's love, other than her family, was baseball! Whether watching the family sporting games or traveling to several World Series games with her twin sister, she was all about baseball and the New York Yankees was her favorite team; Mickey Mantle, Pete Rose, Reggie Jackson, and Steve Kline were her favorite players. Other activities that Thelma enjoyed included: traveling to Reno, NV, to play the machines, gardening-with a special art of growing roses, and of course her fried chicken dinners. Her favorite by far though were the holiday gatherings with all the families at her home, playing card games as long as the family could stay awake! Thelma was preceded in death by her husband, Grover L. on June 27, 2011; parents, Cecil and Gladys Glessner; and sisters: Hazel Hansen, and Velma Tanneberg. She is survived by her daughter, Carmen (Jim) Finch of Chelan, WA; son, Reggie (Carole) of Chelan, WA; and Marcy Collins, widow of Grover Paul, of Wenatchee, WA; seven grandchildren: Paeton, Brooke, Brandon (Amy), Amber (Ray) Birks, Shad, Heather (Bill) King, and Casey (Kristi); eight great-grandchildren: Hayden, Hunter (Miranda), Gianna, Hudson, Elle, Ryder, Chase, and Kennedy; one great-great granddaughter, Lyla; and brother, Loren Glessner. A Graveside Service will be held on Friday, August 31, 2018 at 11:00 a.m., at Riverview Cemetery, Chelan, WA, for family and close friends. A Celebration of Thelma's Life will follow at 1:00 p.m., at Shadow Mountain Event Center, 84 Shadow Ln. (located on Howard Flat), Chelan, WA, with lunch provided for all those that would like to attend, tell a few stories, and enjoy each other's company.
