Thelma Olive Province O'Malley, born in Kansas City, Missouri on May
24, 1921, died of cancer in Austin on July 24, 2007. She settled in Liberty
Hill in 1975 when she and her late husband, Lt. Col. Patrick J. O'Malley, retired from the US Air Force.
Before raising her family as a military wife, Thelma served in the Coast
Guard during World War II, worked as a stenographer Washington, D.C., and
attended the University of Kansas City. An avid genealogist and member of
the Burnet County Genealogical Society, Thelma explored her family history
on the Internet well into her eighties. She was also a member and past president
of the Liberty Hill Garden Club, and her many other interests included current
events, crossword puzzles, and popular music played throughout her life on
a spinet piano she had purchased as a young woman.
A beloved mother and grandmother, Thelma is survived by her daughters, Mary Pat Bolton and husband Greg, Nancy O'Malley and husband Wayne Estes, and Katherine O'Malley and husband Marc Plaza; her son, Timothy P. O'Malley; as well as her grandchildren, Katie and Meg Bolton, Clary and Hannah Estes, and Jesse and Rae Plaza.
An open viewing is scheduled on Sunday, July 29, from noon until 6:00 p.m.
at Cook-Walden Davis Funeral Home in Georgetown, with a memorial service
at 10:00 a.m. on Monday, July 30, in the funeral home chapel.
In place of flowers, the family would appreciate memorial donations to Hospice
Austin or to a cancer research organization, such as the American Cancer
Society or the National Cancer Institute.
