She grew up attending church with her parents, where she was baptized as a child, and later joined St. Paul's Lutheran Church, where she was confirmed in 1956. Thelma attended Enid Public Schools, where she graduated from Enid High School in 1955. She married Ray Travis, and together they built a life centered around family, raising five children.

Thelma worked various office positions, including Enid Clean Clothes Rental, Phillips University, and St. Paul's Lutheran Church, where she was the head bookkeeper before retiring. She was an avid gardener and loved spending time with her grandchildren.
