Thelma C. Bergquist, a longtime Fairport resident, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, October 23, 2024, at age 93. She was predeceased by her husband Carl Marcel Bergquist and her parents, Roy and Dorothy Crandall. She is survived by her close friend and the daughter she never had, Beth Aten, and longtime friends and neighbors, Todd and Stacey Marotta, and Caroline Butts who supported her on her final journey.
For over 35 years as a Fairport teacher, Thelma guided hundreds of young elementary school students through their formative years. In retirement, she enjoyed the companionship of her many friends and travel, with trips to Chautauqua being special. Heartfelt thanks to the caregivers at St. Ann’s at Cherry Ridge for their kind and compassionate care during Thelma’s final days.
At Thelma’s request, there will be no calling hours and services will be private. Donations may be made to The Advent House, 1010 Moseley Road, Fairport 14450 in Thelma’s memory.
