HARTFORD, Ky. — Thelma Rhea Park, 99, of Hartford, passed away Sunday, Dec. 11, 2022, at her residence. She was born on Jan. 16, 1923, in Taffy, Kentucky, the daughter of Rosal C. and Marie Thomas Park.
Rhea was a member of Hartford United Methodist Church. Being the anchor of her family, she sacrificed her personal life in order to care for her family. Although she never had children of her own she was the mother hen to all of her nieces and nephews. Living seventy years on Union Street, she laughingly called herself the “Mayor of Union Street.”
Aside from her parents, she was preceded in death by her siblings, Ruby Crowe (Gerald), Earl Glen Park (Mary), Sue Salts (Jack); and one sister-in-law, Jane Goins Park.
Left to honor Rhea’s memory are her brother, Bob Park, and many nieces and nephews.
Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. on Thursday, Dec. 15, 2022, at The Hartford Memorial Funeral Chapel with Bro. Keith Page officiating. Burial will be in Oakwood Cemetery. Visitation will be held from 9:30 a.m. until service time on Thursday at the funeral home.
The Hartford Memorial Funeral Chapel is both honored and privileged to be entrusted with the care of Miss Park.
