Thelma (Janey) Gunn was born Feb. 14, 1937 in Blair, Okla., the daughter of Lenard J. Aishman and Bertha (Bear) Aishman. She married Jim B. Gunn on June 18, 1956 and lived in the Valliant area since 1970. Thelma and Jim owned and operated a trucking and construction business. They were in business for more than 30 years; they treated their employees like family. It was second nature to show love and kindness to everyone they met.

Thelma loved cooking for her family and could make the best cat head biscuits, as well as cooking catfish. She loved to sew in her spare time and was very good at it. Her greatest joy came from her family, and she spent as much time as she could with them. Thelma will be truly missed by all who knew and loved her.

She is preceded in death by her husband, parents and 11 siblings.

Survivors include two sons: Jimmy Dale Gunn and wife and Jerry Gunn; one daughter, Connie Lindsey and husband; nine grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren; one brother, Bud Aishman; along with a host of relatives and friends.
