We use SU(3) anisotropic lattice QCD at quenched level to study the 0++ glueball correlator at various temperature taking into account the possible existence of the thermal width in the ground-state peak. For this purpose, we adopt the Breit-Wigner ansatz for the appropriate fit-function for the lattice data obtained with 5,500-9,900 gauge configurations at each T. The results show the significant thermal width broadening as Gamma(T_c) \sim 300 MeV with a reduction in the peak center as Delta omega_0(T_c) \sim 100 MeV near the critical temperature T_c.
