On August 5, 2013 she rode home, on horseback no doubt. In October 1919 Thelma, with her parents and her sister Viola, left Mylo, North Dakota for White River, South Dakota in a wagon. She could even recall a few incidents that happened during that almost year long trip. Thelma was united in marriage to Roy "Swede" Rada on June 26, 1937 in Murdo, SD. They settled on a ranch northwest of White River. To this union four children were born: Curtis, Shawn, Melvin and Cleone. Swede passed away in 1977. Thelma moved into White River in 1992, then to Murdo, in 2003 and in Sept 2012 she moved to a care center in Rosholt, SD where her granddaughter Tina was administrator. Thelma loved to be on the back of a horse riding and checking cattle. She even rode one this past July. She never turned down an offer to ride a horse.Thelma and Swede raised, and broke, Appaloosa horses, raised Hereford cattle and worked with 4-H clubs on their horse projects. Thelma also worked for a time in the lunchroom at the White River School and at the White River Nursing Home. She belonged to Cottonwood Ladies Aid, Riverview Ext. Club and the Rebekah Lodge. She read the Bible, would do anything for a friend and believed that if God kept you here you better make yourself useful. During her life, Thelma got to go on a trip of a lifetime to visit Mike and Cleone's former exchange students from Germany and Denmark and meet their families. The exchange students became her grandkids too.Blood never mattered to her, her heart was big enough for many children. She was "Grandma" to all who knew her.In the early years, Thelma and Swede always had family around, especially on Sundays. Thelma was known for her ability to whip up a meal for everyone in no time. A few of their nieces and nephews also lived with them while they were growing up and summers were like Grand Central Station.
