When I think of Thelma Garry, I think of two words: service and community. She’d probably tell you they’re the same thing.
Service is multidimensional in her life; her husband, Pete, is a retired Air Force colonel, and she 
and their children, some with special needs, accompanied him around the world. Everywhere Thelma went, among the first places she looked to connect was the base parish.
I couldn’t begin to list all the ministries in which this retired high school finance teacher has been involved–National Council of Catholic Women, parish council, and Cursillo, just for a few–but Thelma’s also a great supporter of her friends’ ministries, nudging us into places where the Lord wants us to go but that might overwhelm us a bit. Thelma reminds me that diving in and helping out in His name pleases Him greatly.
