Thelma Page Brock, 93, devoted wife of the late Wallace Edward Brock, went to be with her Lord and Savior on Thursday, February 11, 2021.
Born in Greenville County, she was a daughter of the late Luther Eugene and Lucy Annie Mayfield Page. Thelma was a member of Francis Ashbury United Methodist Church. She was the example of a good Christian woman. She loved the Lord with all her heart.
Wallace made a bet with his friend that for just 25 cents, he would marry "that girl over there", talking about Thelma. After only four months of courting her, he married her. No one knows if he ever received that quarter, however, he did win the best lady in the world!
She was an amazing daughter, sister, wife, mother, MaMa, great-grandmother, cousin, and friend.
Her legacy will continue to live on with her four wonderful children, Cathy Wade of Taylors, Debra Goode and her husband, David of Greenville, Denise Stephens and her husband, Rick of Greenville, and Eddie Brock and his wife, Karen of Grand Junction, CO; seven precious grandchildren, Ward Luben and wife, Stephanie, Michael Luben, Ashley L. Samuels and husband, Antione, Melanie G. Callahan, Rickey Stephens, Tyler Stephens and fiancé, Alice Smith, Lu Weir and wife, Mary; 15 great grandchildren, Brock, Larisa, and Brandon Luben, Mica L. Bridges, Lindsay Luben and fiancé, Jeremy Garrett, Marlon Smith, Dorian Hashim and fiancé, Taylor Gibson, Ashton Samuels, Ansley Callahan, Sierra, Grayson and Mason Stephens, Hailey Canady, Zoë Weir, and Drew Smith; nine great great-grandchildren, Levi, Alexis, and Jacob Bridges, Landon Garrett, Blaze, Annsleigh, and Brayleigh Mason, Evelynn Smith, and Theo Luben; her sister, Jean Page Moore of Simpsonville; and two sisters-in-law, Louise Page and Ann Allen Brock, both of Greenville.
In addition to her parents and loving husband of 64 years, Thelma was preceded in death by her grandson, Michael L. Luben, Jr.; two sisters, Lois McNeely, and Christine Chandler; and six brothers, Aris, Wilbur, John, Doyle, Franks, and Myron Page.
