She married Marvin Franklin Young on June 19, 1944, in Dallas, Texas.
Marvin, Thelma and their three children moved to Grantsville, Utah, in 1957. Thelma worked for over two decades as a secretary at Tooele Army Depot.

The family would like to thank all those who cared for Thelma, especially during the last few years of her life. Beth Greetis and Ruby Green were wonderful visiting teachers. Home teachers, Joe Elfors and Dick Johnston, never failed to make a monthly visit to the home.
A special thanks also goes to Harmony Home Health and Hospice nurses and aides, including: Isabell, Dee, Sharon, Margurita, Michelle, and Teresa, and to Gay for taking in meals and befriending Thelma.
In addition to her husband, Thelma is survived by daughter and son-in-law, Mary Ruth and Tom Hammond, Grantsville; son and daughter-in-law, Lynn and Mary Young, Grantsville; and son, Gary, Salt Lake City. She has 15 grandchildren and 34 great-grandchildren.
