During her lifetime, Tommie was totally devoted to her family. She was a tireless worker and wonderful cook. There are many fond memories of delicious meals around the kitchen table and hysterical family games which left participants laughing for days. She ate like a horse but looked like a filly. She was always ready for an adventure and traveled all over the United States with her husband Bob and friends. She was a very disciplined woman and always dressed to the nines.
During the last years of her life, she was most fortunate to be cared for by her devoted daughter in law, Jenny Gay, as well as supporting caregivers; Linda Hildreth, Dolly Richardson, JoAnn Griffin, Sue Thornton and Tiffany Medlin. The family would like to thank Hospice of Union County for all their love, dedication and devotion to Mrs. Thompson over the last few years.
She was blessed with a long fruitful life, was loved by all and will be greatly missed.
Rest peacefully.
