RMCNews – Denver, Colorado … Thirza Monette Powell, 59, passed away peacefully Friday, March 24, in Cushing, Texas, surrounded by her four children. She worked for the Rocky Mountain Conference for 10 years, ending her tenure as the RMC accountant. Thirza is preceded in death by her parents. She is survived by her three siblings, four children, and six grandchildren.
Thirza spent most of her life in Colorado exploring the mountain trails and enjoying the great outdoors which she loved. She enjoyed hiking, photography, and hunting for treasures to resell online, as well as experimenting with vegan recipes.
She will be remembered as a loving, calm, independent, and caring mother and grandmother who always tried to do the best at everything she did. A woman filled with wisdom, compassion, understanding, and steadfast love, she made such an impression on everyone she met and will be deeply missed.
She left many friends in RMC churches and in the Conference Office. Darin Gottfried, RMC vice-president for finance, shared, “Thirza passed away while with her family in Texas. Please keep her family in your prayers. We are looking forward to the second coming when we all can be reunited with those that we have lost.”
Funeral services will be today, Monday, March 27, at 2 p.m. at the Dickie Allen Funeral Home in Cushing, Texas. Interment will follow at McKnight Cemetery.
