Life Reflections
On October 7, 1925, the late James and Eula Mae Sneed were blessed with the birth of their beautiful daughter, Thelma Sneed. The second blessing of that day was a lifelong relationship with her twin sister Selma Sneed. Their bond has been everlasting for 89 years. She was preceded in death by 5 brothers: Earlie Sneed, Alfred B. Sneed, Albert Lee Sneed, Rev. Theodis J. Sneed and Rev. Charlie H. Sneed. After her life’s journey, she accepted her call to Glory on Tuesday, January 13, 2015.
Thelma was educated in Holt schools and her early years were spent picking cotton and working in tobacco fields as she worked very hard to help support her family. Her everyday demeanor exemplified strength, patience, courage, and a love for God and family. She helped to rear three generations of family members and was a humble servant in her community. Thelma was a teacher in her own right of life’s lessons, favoring how not to complain yet place all your concerns in the hands of the Lord. She was known by many as “Miss Kit” and enjoyed walking, talking, and singing Praises unto the Lord. Thelma accepted Christ as her Savior at an early age and was an active member for many years of Pleasant Grove Baptist Church where she sang in the choir. Thelma’s bold and joyful spirit, katty remarks, clever sayings, and her unwaivering strength will be missed by all who loved her.
