Thelma Silva

Thelma (Williams) Silva, 91, wife of the late Adrian Silva, passed peacefully on Sunday, July 14th, 2019. Daughter to the late Jack and Jessie (Muir) Williams, she was a lifelong resident of Pawtucket, RI. She will be missed for her vivacious personality, quick wit and innate ability to tell jokes, but most of all for the way she lit up when a loved one entered her home. Thelma’s gregarious nature ensured any stranger she met, left as a friend. She was a blessing to her family, leaving a legacy of life lessons of forgiveness and generosity. Thelma is remembered as the loving mother of Leslie (Silva) Pietraszka and Adrian Paul Silva; devoted grandmother to Adrienne Pietraszka, Jared Pietraszka, Brittany Pine, and Quinton O’Connor; adoring GG to her loves Reece Pietraszka-Rivera, Milani Paige Pietraszka, and Thomas Gion Pietraszka. She was greatly appreciative of her friend and caregiver Jeannie Cardoza. Thelma is predeceased by her sisters Margret Kiel and Helen Trombley, as well as her son-in-law Thomas...
