Thelma Florence (Reisinger) Musgrove, 91,

June 21, 2026

Thelma Florence (Reisinger) Musgrove, 91, of Charles Town, West Virginia, passed away peacefully on June 16, 2026. She was a beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and friend whose presence will be deeply missed.

Thelma was born on October 11, 1934, in Baltimore, Maryland, where she grew up alongside her siblings. At 17, she met the love of her life, William W. “Bill” Musgrove. They shared 45 beautiful years of marriage until his passing in 1997.
In 1959, they settled in New Carrollton, Maryland, to raise their four children. Thelma later relocated to California, Maryland, in 2000, spending 20 years there before moving to Charles Town, West Virginia, in 2022.

Thelma loved to dance, play bingo, and bowl. Her greatest joy was spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. In her later years, she found peace and serenity in the West Virginia mountains, on the very property where she and Bill had once planned to retire together. A devoted friend, she never forgot a birthday and was famous for bringing her special Seven-Up cake and delicious coleslaw to gatherings.

She is survived by three of her children: Sharon Farbizio and her husband, Jim; Donald Musgrove and his wife, Linda; Steven Musgrove and his wife, Cindy; and her brother William “Buzzy” Reisinger. She is also survived by five grandchildren: Amy Scott (Andy), Glenda Lehnen, Shannon Musgrove, Patrick Farbizio, and Jessica Huskins (Shawn); and 12 cherished great-grandchildren.

Thelma was preceded in death by her husband, William “Bill” Musgrove; her daughter, Mary K. Musgrove; her parents, William E. and Florence P. (née Glenn) Reisinger; her sisters, Katherine Williams, Doris Bohle, and Elizabeth Godleski; and her brother, LeRoy Reisinger.
