She was raised by her parents on their farm on E Avenue in Cooper, Michigan and dearly loved the farm and the animals. She attended McGregor School, which was a one room school during her childhood years and also attended University High for a few years, graduating from Plainwell High School. Thelma graduated from Parson's Business School and worked at Wilson Insurance in Kalamazoo. While living in Kalamazoo, she met and became best friends with the future Vivian Roelof.

On April, 13, 1944, Richard C. Mollet (Deceased) was born to Al and Thelma as they became established in Galesburg. Al and Thelma purchased a grocery store in Galesburg which was named Mollet Market. Four years later, Thomas S. Mollet was born, the youngest of the Mollet children. The Mollet's were very active in the Galesburg Methodist Church, as well as being generous supporters of the Galesburg Volunteer Fire Department, school athletic programs and various other school activities. Thelma was active in the Eastern Star in her younger years and was still a member in good standing at her death. Thelma was very active in the various Methodist Church circles, Galesburg Garden Club, Galesburg Historical Museum, Friends of the Library, Kids Hope, etc. Shortly after the Mollet's sold their store, Al and Thelma went into a semi-retirement and within a year, Al passed away. This began a whole new career for Thelma, where she worked at Ruby's Clothing Store in Galesburg and moved into Galesburg from the country.

Pat (Patricia) Perkins and mom would go off to flower show, quilting exhibits, etc. The deep friendship continued until Thelma's passing. It was difficult at times to find Thelma as she was off volunteering at one of her various programs. In 1977, her first granddaughter Jean (Cougill) was born and Thelma would often stay with Tom and Catherine Mollet (Stange) at the different states they were transferred to. She would often spend the entire winter seasons staying close to her family. In 1982, her second granddaughter, Karen (Petersen) was born and Thelma had two granddaughters to spoil. As fortune would have it, Jean had two grandsons, Louie and Xander of Noblesville, Indiana whom she dearly adored. In later years, while her health was declining, she would often endure the 4 hour ride to Indiana to see her two special angels. Thelma is remembered for her big smile, her gentle nature and her fondness to quietly help others even late into her late 90's.
