Center in Wellsville, will be held on Saturday (July 14, 2018) at 11:00 a.m. at

Mrs. Higday was born on Jan. 5, 1946 in Wellsville to
Charles W. and Winnifred M. “Winnie” (Geffers) Jenison.
Thelma is survived by one daughter, Loucinda (Douglas)
Glover of Andover; two brothers, Cecil E. (Carol) Jenison of Wellsville and
Lyle E. (Bonnie) Jenison of Gloucester, Va; two sisters, Carolynn R. Lycette of
Andover and Sharon L. Morris of Wellsville; three grandchildren, Ashley Glover

Thelma committed her life as a stay at home mom. She loved
to knit and crochet, making countless sweaters and baby booties to give away to
family and friends. She was an avid cat lover. Thelma enjoyed watching Western
movies and cheering on her beloved Buffalo Bills. Two of her daughter’s
favorite memories were watching Western movies with her mom and enjoying a
fresh cup of hot cocoa she made especially for her after sledding, even though
her mom was allergic to cocoa.
Local arrangements are under the direction of Baker-Swan
Funeral Home in Andover. Online condolences may be offered at www.baker-swan.com.
