Peacefully and surrounded by her family, Thelma Hicks Arnold passed away Saturday, Aug. 22 at the age of 95 years.
She will be lovingly remembered by her son Doug (Melissa); grandchildren Daxon, Whitney, Forrest, and Julie; five great-grandchildren; as well as numerous relatives and friends.
She was predeceased by her loving husband of 63 years, Herbert; son Elwin; grandson Frank; brothers James and Oliver; sister June; and her parents Charles and Henrietta Hicks.
Thelma was a longtime member of First Baptist Church in Cullman, where she made many lifelong friendships, was known for her awesome cooking and beautiful garden, and played a mean golf game, too! She was an extremely loving and doting mother, grandmother and great-grandmother who, along with her late husband, served as model examples of hard work ethic and genuine Christian values. Her down-to-earth, sweet nature touched everyone who knew her and we’re so grateful God blessed us with her life.
A graveside service was held Tuesday, Aug. 25, 2020 at 10 a.m. at Cullman City Cemetery, 821 Lessman Circle SW, Cullman, AL 35055.
