Dear Friends and Schoolmates,   
  There is more sad news today.

From the Daily Press - 07/29/16:

    HAMPTON - Thelma Payne Rohrbaugh, 93, passed away Saturday, July 30.

She was preceded in death in 1984 by her husband of 40 years, Francis L. Rohrbaugh; her parents, James P. and Gertrude C. Payne and her sister, Grace P. Bush of Norfolk, a niece and nephew.

Born on May 28, 1923, Thelma was a life-long resident of the Peninsula and graduate of Newport News High School in 1941.

Thelma retired in 1985 as Assistant Cashier and Branch Operations Manager at the Newport News Washington Avenue branch of Bank of America after 30 years service.

Thelma's greatest joy was music. She was organist, pianist and choir director at Colonial Place Church in Hampton and was pianist for a gospel quartet, the Colonial Quartet. For several years, Thelma also played the organ at the Hampton Roads Coliseum for the professional basketball and hockey team home games.

 
 
 
 
  Thelma is survived by her daughter, Linda R. Turner of Woodstock, GA; her sister, Jane P. Rhodes of Richmond, VA and four nieces and nephews.

Thelma's family would sincerely like to thank her caregiver for over a year, Norma L. Morgan, for her care and devotion. A private graveside service is planned for the family at Peninsula Memorial Park. View and post condolences on our online guestbook at dailypress.com/guestbooks.

No. 45 - I Know That My Redeemer Liveth

- G. F. Handel
 

I know that my Redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth.
And though worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God.

(Job 19:25-26)


For now is Christ risen from the dead, the first fruits of them that sleep.

(I Corinthians 15:20)
