Thelma Mattox

Funeral service for Thelma Mattox, 85, will be Wed., Dec. 28, at 1 p.m. at Peck Funeral Home Chapel with the Rev. A. Ray Lee officiating.

Burial will be in Herring Cemetery. Visitation will be Tue., Dec. 27, from 6-8 p.m. at the funeral home.

Mrs. Mattox died on Dec. 23, 2011 at Decatur General Hospital.  She was born Jan. 9, 1926, in Morgan County to Charlie Emmett Cooper and Della Estelle (Hall) Cooper.  Thelma enjoyed attending family gatherings, especially reunions – as well as having conversations with friends and family and spending time with her special dog, Cookie.

Tending her flowers and gardening were her favorite two pastimes. She liked living in the country and reminiscing about her happy childhood experiences growing up with her eight brothers and sisters on the family farm in Danville, Alabama. She maintained fond memories of her marriage to Charles Mattox.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Charles Arthur Mattox; her parents; three brothers, Raymond Albert, Marvin Dean and James Wiley Cooper; and two sisters, Ruth Alene Smith and Reba Lurline Self.

She is survived by four sons, Richard David Jones, Joseph Anthony Lingle, Timothy Bing Lingle and Franklin Don Jones and wife Lucretia; two sisters, Betty Wilma Lee Hollifield and Merle Jean King; 12 grandchildren; and seven great-grandchildren.

Pallbearers will be Frankie Smith, Franklin Jones, Enoch Jones, James Arthur Jones, Tony Maday and Felix Hardin
