Notes
NOTEThelma E. Ward
(Free Spirit)

Thelma E. Ward 6/25/1909 – 6/23/2005 age 95 left us on Thursday
June 23, 2005 of natural causes at South Coast Medical Center
in Laguna Beach. Thelma was a long time resident of Laguna Beach,
a city which she loved for its bohemian character and secluded
beauty. Even in the 1950’s Thelma would commute to Laguna from
Los Angeles to spend her weekends with friends in this quaint
and beautiful seaside city. Thelma, the first in her family
to complete college at UCLA, enjoyed a 35-year career as a physical
education teacher in Los Angeles schools where she particularly
enjoyed directing the synchronized swimming teams and loved
modern dance. During World War ll Thelma joined The Red Cross
and worked as social director in Panama. Thelma was well known
for her love of life and zest for world travel visiting almost
100 countries, some on numerous occasions. Thelma also enjoyed
traveling throughout the United States and camping along the
way in her VW bus. Thelma had a particular affinity with the
American Indians of the South Western parts of The US. Much
of Thelma’s jewelry was purchased from the Navajo and Zuni tribes
and Thelma contributed to Indian schools on the reservations.
A visit with Thelma was never dull or depressing but always
positive and uplifting with a good story about traveling or
just enjoying all the mementos decorating Thelma’s home including
pottery, hand woven rugs, spears, arrow heads, dolls and necklaces
from all over the world. Aimee Greenberg of Coastline News wrote
a piece about Thelma in 2000 entitled A Local Living Treasure:
Thelma Ward and stated “Spending time with Thelma Ward is like
being in a constant state of epiphany”. If you ever felt down
or things just did not seem to be going just right a visit with
Thelma would always set things straight and leave one in good
spirits. Thelma touched many people in her life with her positive
attitude, free spirit and infectious smile.
