Thelma Mullane Martin was born in Maryland in 1933. She was interested in medicine and planned to be a nurse. Instead, she married and had two daughters. She spent most of her life in California where her continued interest in medicine led to her working in hospitals, eventually as the Medical Records Administrator. After retiring, she moved to Murrieta with her second husband, John Mullane. After he passed away, she met and married Robert Martin and moved to the Riverside area where they were active in their church. Thelma liked puzzles and cats. She enjoyed pizza and a good beer. She is survived by her husband, two daughters, five grandchildren, two great grandchildren, one great-great grandchild, stepchildren and step-grandchildren.
