THELMA PALLA Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Aug. 5, 2016.

Thelma (Jean) Bryant Palla was born May 27,1932 in Midlothian, Texas to Russell & Lydia ( Trout ) Bryant and passed away peacefully at the SPJST nursing home on August 4, 2016 surrounded by her family. Jean is survived by her loving husband of 68 years, Jimmie R. Palla, two sons; Ray and Mark, two daughters Loretta Goericke (Carl) and Laurie Forehand (Charles). She is also survived by six grandkids; Greggory Goericke (Denise), Tiernie Howard (Kevin), Phillip Goericke (Holly), Brandon Forehand (Jerri Anne), Jason Forehand (Kristi) and Donna Forehand (Raymond), and four great grandchildren; Heather Howard, Daniel Forehand, Kinley Forehand and Dakota Forehand.
Jean moved to the Hutto, Taylor area with her family as a young child. She spent a large portion of her life in Taylor where she and Jimmie met and raises their children. Later she was in Lubbock for 4 ½ years, then in Austin for a number of years.
Jean was an entrepreneur of the All In One store, of Austin Texas where she handled a complete line of cake supplies and decor, she taught cake decorating classes and became the largest Wilton supply dealer in the southwest. She was an artist, a wedding consultant, a designer, a Sunday school teacher, and most of all a loving wife and mother.
In 2001 Jean sold her business, which is still open today, and moved back to Taylor where she lived for the past eight years with her husband.
The family would like to express their deep appreciation to the nurses, aids and staff of the SPJST home, who lovingly cared for her for the last 3 ½ years.
Jean was a person who would take anyone under her wing and was referred to as "mom" by many.

I am so sorry for your loss my fondest memory of your Mom was when we did one of the windows for Christmas downtown and she used her gold curtain that she took down to resemble the light that Christ gives off and we lost because they said it should have been the purple but we loved it and I will never forget how we celebrated after . Loved your Mom and Dad . Gloria Wilson Lee

Uncle Jimmy, Loretta, Laurie, Mark and Ray,
I am so sorry for your loss. I know that the wonderful mother and wife she was and all of the wonderful memories you have will be a great comfort to you and I know that Jesus will hold you all in his arms during this difficult time of transition. She was always smiling and so friendly. She always made all of us feel welcome. I will have fond memories of visiting with all of your home in Austin and at the Palla family reunions. She will be missed.
