June 8, 1923 ~ June 15, 2022
Thelma was born in Fresno, CA and passed away at the age of 99 in Turlock.
She will be remembered for her ability to enjoy life to the fullest and her
spontaneity. One of her friends said it best, “Everyone should have a Thelma in
their life”. Thelma enjoyed her daily walks which were miles long and helped
keep her healthy in her later years. She also loved traveling and driving her
car.
She is survived by her children Mary and Alfred Parish, Patricia Randeleas and
Julie Davis, ten grandchildren and seven great grandchildren. Thelma was
preceded in death by her husband Kenneth Jenkins.
Viewing will be held at Allen Mortuary on Saturday, June 25, 2022 from 12:00-2:00p.m. Graveside service will be held at Cedar Lawn Cemetery in Fremont on Monday, June 27, 2022 at 2:00p.m.

June 21, 2022 at 9:00 pmI have so many memories of you breaking the rules, instigating shenanigans, giving me advice, and howling with laughter. I remember watching you and Dad hollering jokes at each other and slinging barbs that would have made anyone else cringe, but it was how you both showed love. You were a bit of a rebel. You were never made of the sweet, sticky stuff that other grandmothers seemed to be composed of…you were fierce, fiery, and always in search of the next adventure. Thank you for showing me that it was okay to put on your best lipstick and walk a different path. Rest in peace Grandma, with much love, jenn
