Thelma L. Ferrell Fuqua "Nanny", 96, of Owensboro was called home to be with her Lord and Saviour Thursday, December 16, 2010 at the Owensboro Medical Health System. Born in Wayne County, KY on May 20, 1914, she was the daughter of the late George and Artie Ferrell; was retired from Owensboro Daviess County Hospital where she was a nurse's aide for over 30 years; and attended Macedonia Baptist Church where she was a member of the Gleaner's Sunday School Class. Nanny was a warm, gentle soul. Her family was her life and she in turn was a shining example to each of them for which they loved her dearly. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Luther Burk Fuqua in 1970 and five brothers and sisters.
Surviving are her children, Linda Estes and Fred of Philpot, Artie (Tony) Cherolis of Dickson, TN, Bill (Nancy) Fuqua of Habit, and L.B. (Barbara) Fuqua of Masonville; grandchildren, Mollie Humphreys, Susan Fenwick, Burk Fuqua, Jim Cherolis, Robert Cherolis, Nathan Cherolis, Charmaine Crichton, Bill Fuqua, Leandra St Yves, Miles Fuqua, Lori Wright, and Angela Fleischmann; 24 great-grandchildren; and several nieces and nephews.
