Thelma Jean Branson, 83, longtime resident of Orange Park, Florida went to be with our Lord on March 24, 2017. Jean was a loving spiritual counselor touching many lives over the years. She loved going anywhere with friends and a meal out made her day – especially at Alhambra or Cracker Barrel! Her many friends were dear to her and they enriched her life beyond measure. Her love and fight for life was extraordinary. She is survived by her children Cliff (Ruth), Diane (Larry), one brother, five grandchildren and nine great grandchildren. A celebration of life will be held Saturday, April 29 at 5pm at the Holiday Inn & Suites, 620 Wells Road, Orange Park, Florida. Memorial gifts may be made to Salvation Army, 2795 County Rd 220, Middleburg, FL 32068
