Thelma Delaine Anson was born Dec, 4, 1926, in Clearwater. She was the oldest child and onlydaughter of Charles and Gladys (McCloud) Kruntorad.

Thelma attended grade school at District #21 and went on to graduate high school at Wheeler County High School in Bartlett, with the Class of 1944. After graduation she taught school at District #21 for three years.

On May 30, 1948, she was united in marriage to Vance Anson in O'Neill. The couple lived in Neligh for a few years before making their permanent home in Ewing. The couple had two sons, Dennis and Terry. Thelma's life was dedicated to her husband and her family. Along with raising her boys, she spent countless hours alongside Vance while he was in and out of the Veterans Administration hospitals until his death in 1993. She then could be found helping "Denny" cook and clean at Southfork Bar or spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She enjoyed sewing, gardening, cooking and baking and often shared her goodies with family and friends.

Thelma is survived by her son, Terry (Rita) Anson of Ewing; three grandchildren, Seth (Kelly) Anson, John Anson and Kim Anson; and seven great-grandchildren, Belle, Jett and Meg Anson; Hunter and Emma Smith; Tessa Janek and Karnie Becker.
