My best memories of spending time at Grandma's house when I was little were her laugh, her great sense of humor, her worrying about us constantly, Neapolitan ice cream and lots of hot chocolate after coming in after raising hell outside in the cold. She was such a caring and sweet woman and will be so missed by all of her family and everyone that knew and loved her. Joel Houghton
Love and miss you Grandma
Theda was one of a kind. No pretense about her. She was a kind sister-in-law to me . We will miss her smile.
I am sure we all have many treasured memories of Grandma. One of my favorite memories are of her teaching me to play Canasta when she lived in town. I can remember sitting at her kitchen table with her playing cards and eating ginger snap cookies, she always seemed to have ginger snaps. I know we all will her and my thoughts, prayers, and hugs go out to all who loved Grandma! Holly (Houghton) Beilfuss
I remember Theda as a very kind and loving lady. She was always easy to talk to. Loved the times I was able to stay over night with Marsha. Also, working with her at High Q. She will be remembered with love.
To Theda family and friends, my thoughts and prayers are with you. I came into the Houghton family late in life so did not get to know Theda as well as I would have liked. When I did get to meet her I could tell she was a sweet lady and easy to talk with. May God comfort you thru this difficult time. Berniece Houghton
May you Rest In Peace Grandma
Just wanted to let the whole family know that you are in my thoughts and prayers and that Grandma will remain in our hearts forever.
I hardly remember my life with Theda being part of it. Her take on life and commentary on events always made me smile. She was a strong woman who enjoyed having her family always close by. Thank you for many fond memories. Gina Post-Edwards
I have a million memories of mom and I cannot say which one is my favorite, but one I'll never forget, is of her running out of the house to hug and kiss me when I returned home from Vietnam. She kept every letter I sent home from that place and surprised me with them some 45 years later. She washed my cloths every weekend I came home from Ferris without complaint, and always made sure I had some spending money when I returned on Monday. I never doubted her love for me and my siblings, and I will love her and her memory always.
