Thelma M Greco's Obituary
Greco, Thelma M. (Cona) 87, passed away suddenly on Sunday, Dec. 10th and was welcomed into the loving arms of her Father in Heaven. She left a legacy of love to all who knew her and was the Matriarch of our family. Thelma was a devoted, full-time Wife, Mother, Grandmother “Nana” and Great-Grandmother. She was born in Newburgh, New York and grew up in Ybor City, Florida. Thelma graduated from Hillsborough High School, attended the University of Tampa and was in the 1949 Latin American Fiesta Court.
