They began a life that was filled with love, adventure, and a lot of hard work. Jack and Thelma were sealed along with their children in the St. George Temple on April 25, 1987.
Thelma began working with Jack at the family business, Scholzen Products Company, Inc. She learned many aspects of the business, among them, making deliveries and driving truck.
Thelma had wide and varied interests including hunting for arrowheads, metal detecting, going to yard sales, penny and nickel slots, jeep patrol, and weekends at the cabin.
