Ledo Pizza shared the sad news yesterday:
“It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our former President of Ledo Pizza, Thelma W. Beall, who died last week at the age of 101.
Thelma was instrumental in the founding of Ledo Pizza in 1955 alongside her husband, Bob. During those early years, she often worked as a server and hostess at teh original Ledo Restaurant in Adelphi, Maryland.
Thelma’s impact on Ledo Pizza can still be felt today through our dedication to hospitality and the family atmosphere in our restaurants. Since 1955, she was a constant source of support and wise counsel, helping shape the values that continue to guide us.
We will miss you, Grandma.”
