Debo Funeral Home Obituary |
- Elizabeth Thiele, 97, formerly of Fulton, passed away on Friday, Oct. 2, 2009 in Mesa, AZ from complications of old age.
Born to Edward and Ellen Rachel "Nellie" Mirts on June 4, 1912, in Fulton, she was in the 1929 graduating class of Fulton High School. After graduation, she was employed by Southwestern Bell as a switchboard operator and later at Ovid Bell Press as a proof reader.
She married Judson F. Thiele of St. Louis, MO on March 4, 1933. In 1945, they left Fulton because they had purchased the independent telephone exchange in Pagosa Springs, CO. During her years in Pagosa, she was active in the Methodist church, Women's Civic Club, Rebekah Lodge and Beta Sigma Phi. In addition, she raised a family and took part in all their activities and at night she was the phone company's operator. After the death of her husband in 2002, she moved to AZ where she enjoyed activities at her retirement community.
Elizabeth is survived by her daughters, Judith (Clifford) Smart of St. Louis and Carol Thiele of Allison CO, her son Fred (Katrina) Thiele of Gilbert AZ, two granddaughters, and one great grandson. Three sisters, Anna Karney, Eleanor Lee, and Mildred Jaeger, preceded her in death. She was a devoted wife and loving mother, grandmother, and aunt and will be missed by all who knew her. She loved her family and the many friends she made through the years.
