The Texas Senate has passed a resolution honoring the memory of Thelma McCuller Snedeker, who passed away on January 6, 2025, at the age of 87. Born on January 26, 1937, in Pawhuska, Oklahoma, Thelma was the daughter of Haskell and Willa Mahan and grew up with her twin sister, Velma, and sister, Margie. She had a diverse career that began in her teenage years at a soda shop and included work in grocery stores and a long-standing role as a caregiver in East Texas. Thelma was married to Robert McCuller for nearly sixty years until his passing and later married Walter Snedeker, who also preceded her in death. She was a devoted mother to seven children and a proud grandmother and great-grandmother.

The resolution expresses heartfelt sympathy to Thelma's family, including her daughters, sons, grandchildren, and sister, as well as other relatives and friends. It highlights her love for hobbies such as dancing, fishing, and playing card games, and emphasizes the strength she drew from her Baptist faith. The Senate resolution concludes with a commitment to prepare an official copy for her family and to adjourn in her memory, reflecting the deep impact she had on those who knew her.
