A co-owner of Chrisman Enterprises, Thelma dedicated many years to the metal fabrication industry in Elkhart.

She was known not only for her strong work ethic but also for the pride she took in helping build a family business.

Above all, she cherished her role as a mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother.

She found her greatest joy in spending time with her grandchildren, vacations, gardening, flying with Chauncey, and creating lasting memories through simple, meaningful moments. She was a hands-on grandmother whose love and presence will be deeply missed.
