Thelma Vernalee Doss, 96, of Cheyenne, died on January 3, 2022 in Cheyenne.
She was born on February 3, 1925 in Nacogdoches, Texas.
Thelma was a devoted wife and mother. Her greatest joy in this world was serving her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. That love and her servants’ heart was evidenced as she lived her entire life caring for and giving to others.
Thelma, along with her husband Jeff, served as a foster parents for 43 years, caring for over 4,000 children while raising her own family. Thelma was a walking testament to her faith. The lives she has touched is so far reaching that it’s truly immeasurable .
Thelma enjoyed her time in church and could always be found right up front praising His Name with her tambourine. Thelma also enjoyed gathering with friends for prayer, fellowship, and coffee.
Her grandchildren and great grandchildren were the apple of her eye and she cherished her time with them. She never missed an opportunity to fix them all breakfast before school or to see them off on their buses.
Her family was everything to her. Thelma was more than a mother and a grandmother. She was a true Matriarch, and her legacy will live on through the wisdom, love and care that she so tirelessly poured into her family and those around her.
