She married Reed Moon on March 13, 1963, in Lovelock, Nevada. Together they traveled throughout the United States with Lear Siegler. In 1971 they settled in Casper, Wyoming, with Halliburton until Reed’s retirement and then after retirement from Halliburton Reed worked for Automation and Electronics as they raised their family. They were blessed with three wonderful daughters and later a wonderful granddaughter, DeMetri, to rear. Thelma was self-employed at “Moon's Daycare” in her home for 31 years.
