Thelma E. (Bolen) Walton Brown

 
Thelma E. (Bolen) Walton Brown, 97, of Canton passed away at 1:35 PM, Saturday, September 27, 2015 at Heartland Health Care Center in Canton, Illinois.  She was born on November 29, 1917 in Torch, Missouri to Lindzy and Nancy Janie (Cozart) Bolen.  Thelma first married Joseph D. Walton and later married Wayne D. Brown.  He preceded her in death.  Also preceding her in death were her parents, 6 brothers, and 3 sisters.
 
Surviving is 2 children; Eddie (Donna) Walton and Deava Walton both of Canton, 6 grand children, 11 great grand children, 7 great-great-grandchildren, 1 sister-in-law and several nieces and nephews.
 
Private services will be Saturday at White Chapel. Her grand children will be pallbearers.  Thelma loved her family and was an avid animal lover.  Her grandson Kenneth posted on facebook something I had not thought of but now that he has done the thinking, I am going to steal it from him. I'm sure he won't mind.  Thelma enjoyed a long, full life, and has seen so much. How's this; 17 presidents, 2 husbands, 2 world wars, Korean and Vietnam wars, Hippies, bra burning, booze and pot being legal, then illegal, and then legal again, The Great Depression, the list goes on and on.  Arrangements by Murphy-Sedgwick Memorial Home in Canton.  To make online condolences you can go to www.sedgwickfuneralhomes.com
