It is with deep sadness that we share the news that THF board member and writer Norma Schmelling passed away on August 7, 2025. Norma joined the THF board in 2023 and brought with her a spirit of dedication and a passion for Texas history and preservation. We are grateful for her service and the perspective she brought to our work.
We invite you to read Norma's obituary, which she wrote herself, and to visit her blog on Medium. Our thoughts are with her partner, Harold, and her loved ones during this difficult time.
