Leora was born Nov. 3, 1926, in Colony, Okla., to George and Mary (Warkentin) Rempel and died Sept. 29, 2014, in Enid, Okla. After spending her first three years in Corn, Okla., her family moved to Texas and California before settling in Oklahoma. She attended junior high in Enid before her family moved to North Enid, and she attended all four years of high school at Kremlin High School, graduating with the Class of 1945.

She worked at Vance Air Force Base for a few years, then married Jake Thesman in 1948 and settled on a farm west of Kremlin. Besides raising her three children, she worked at Kress and Coldiron’s and retired after working 18 years in the Garfield County Treasurer’s Office. She has been a member of the Enid Mennonite Brethren Church for 65 years, and especially enjoyed her involvement with the music program and the choir. She has lived at the Golden Oaks Retirement Center since 2007.

She is survived by her three children, Robert (Bob) of Shawnee, Kan.; Jolita (Jodi) Gossen and husband Roger of Kremlin, Okla.; Debra (Debbie) Wright and husband Jeff of Riverside, Calif.; six grandchildren, Caleb Thesman of Olathe, Kan., Monica Gossen of Wichita, Kan., Alyssa Boyd (Zach) of Tulsa, Okla., Drew Gossen (Kristan) of Yukon, Okla., Bethany Wright-Kuhns (Marcos) of Portland, Ore., and Jordan Wright (Celina) of Fontana, Calif.; and eight great-grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Jake and her sisters, Viola Davidson, Mabel Cox and infant sister.
