Thelma Nuble peacefully passed away at home on June 10, 2026 surrounded by loved ones.

Thelma was preceded in death by her parents, Harry & Minnie Jackson, her brothers Lawrence, Harry, Ernie & Leon Jackson, her sister Mary Watson, and her husband, Bennett Nuble.

Thelma devoted her life to raising children and making loving homes. Over the years, Thelma cared for several children. In March of 1951, Thelma watched Eddie Bailey from the moment he was born until he was twelve years old. In 1963, She joined Kip & Caroline duPont at Great House Farm to care for their three children, Colt, Ginny & Lairsey. In 1999, Thelma’s final charge, Kip Suarez was born. She took great pride in those she helped raise and spoke of them all so highly.

Thelma always had a warm hand to hold and a listening ear for all who knew her. Affectionately known as “Nanny”, she was a true source of endless love, joy and care, with a sharp wit and a wealth of stories, along with a fly swatter. Laughter, love, ice cream and crab balls filled her world and in turn she was a blessing to all who knew her.

At 104 years, Thelma was celebrated as the oldest living graduate of the Elkton Colored School (renamed George Washington Carver School). She is survived by many family members, friends and children whose lives she touched throughout her years.

Celebration of Life will be at St. Peter’s Anglican Church, 1069 Frenchtown Rd, Elkton MD  21921 on Thursday, June 18^th at 11:00AM.

Interment will be private.
