Thelma

Camacho

On Monday, February 19, 2024 Thelma Camacho passed away peacefully at age 60, after a long fight against cancer. She was comforted by family at Valley Baptist Medical Center in Harlingen, Texas at the time of her passing. Although Thelma moved into the Lord's heavenly kingdom, she never stopped fighting.

Thelma was born on October 8, 1963, and raised in Harlingen, Texas by Dora M. Segovia. She started work as a traveling migrant along with her mother and siblings as a child. As a young adult she worked serving at Pancake House in Harlingen. She then earned a Bachelors in Communications to work at the local TV station KMBH. After her youngest son Jose was born with missing fingers, she pursued a career in helping children with special needs. She earned a Master's Degree in Education and her educational jobs consisted of; being a special ed teacher at Dr. Garza, a diagnostician for Rio Hondo C.I.S.D, & currently a teacher for STISD Medical Professions.

Thelma, much like her mother Dora, had a heart of gold and a caretaking soul. She held a unique vigor for life that showed in her unforgettable laugh, loving nature to her family, and her commitment to helping those in need. In spite of any trials and tribulations life threw at Thelma, nothing was able to break her spirit or stop her from persevering and being herself. She was victorious in this fight against cancer and now seated at the right hand of the Father.

She is preceded in death by her mother, Dora Segovia and her eldest brother, Octavio Quintanilla.
