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, starting as a teenager in a soda shop and later working in grocery stores before dedicating over thirty years to caregiving in East Texas. Thelma was married to Robert McCuller for nearly sixty years, with whom she had seven children, and later married Walter Snedeker, who also preceded her in death.
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 notes the strength she drew from her Baptist faith. The Senate acknowledges the warmth and kindness she brought to those around her and resolves to prepare an official copy of the resolution for her family, adjourning in her memory.
