Thelma Kochan Obituary
We bid farewell to Thelma Kochan (Wood River, Illinois), whose journey of life gracefully concluded on May 21, 2026 at the age of 73. Thelma touched countless lives with warmth and kindness, leaving behind cherished memories that will forever echo in hearts. Family and friends are welcome to leave their condolences on this memorial page and share them with the family.
As we bid Thelma farewell, let us not mourn the absence of her physical form, but rather celebrate the essence of her spirit that lingers in the spaces between moments. For Thelma is not truly gone, but merely transformed, her energy intertwined with the fabric of the universe itself, forever dancing among the stars.
