Mary Elizabeth Thompson born January 14, 1936 in Natchitoches, LA went to be with our heavenly father on September 22, 2023. Mary was a graduate of Istrouma High School class of 1953. She was a retiree of Blue Cross Blue Shield and the Electricians local #995. Visitation will be held on Monday, September 25, 2023 at Colyell Baptist Church from 6:00pm until 9:00pm. Visitation on Tuesday will resume at 9:00am. Bro. Jeremy Glascock, Bro.  Craig Forque and Bro. Lynn Rodrigue will conduct funeral services at 11:00am.

Mary is survived by her loving husband of almost 70 years Samuel (Buddy) Thompson, children Gene (Bud) Thompson (Renee), Charles Thompson (Marlene), Johnette Childers (Danny), LaDonna Childers (Curtis), sister Charlene Glover (Malcolm), 8 grandchildren, 21 great grandchildren, 3 great great grandchildren, extended family Denelle Glascock, Deb Hooper, Trudi Gerlach, and Kelly Smith.

Pallbearers will be Jeremy Thompson, Joshua Thompson, Daniel Thompson, Matthew Childers, Shain Picou, Chuck Dupuy, Matthew Wheat and Logan Wheat. To all who know her, she truly lived a servant heart always willing to go above and beyond. Rather it be to spoil one or many of her grandchildren or off on a mission trip cooking for SBC disaster workers. She loved living for the Lord and her family. The family is grateful and say “Thank you” to the staff of Compassus Hospice Care and Flannery Oaks Guest House for the excellent care of our mom.
