Thelma Regina Henneke Mikulenka, 89, of Hallettsville, went to be with her Lord and Savior on March 4, 2014 at 7:45 pm, at Shady Oak Nursing Home in Moulton.

She was a member of Catholic Daughters of Americas and Sacred Heart Catholic Church.

Thelma was a devoted wife and mother, selfless to her family, quick to a smile, quick witted, caring, and tender hearted. She was fun loving, always with a smile, enjoyed herself and life, an ability to call it like she saw it, a joking manner, loved to visit and socialize with people. If she was bored, she would make her own fun.

It's not good bye, but see you at the Pearly Gates when we come home. Love you, Mom.
