In 2007 Mary moved to Lenexa, KS to spend her last years with her daughter, Sharon. Mary is preceded in death by her husband, Ronald S. Thompson, and survived by her two sons and daughter, Lee and Terry Thompson and Sharon Lewis along with their spouses, Eileen, Stephanie and Donald respectively.

I had a joy of taking care of Ms. Mary, she was happy all the time. When I was around I always felt the present of God around. You will be missed. Sharon

Sharon,
I'm thinking of you and praying for you and your family. I know the hole you are feeling by your Mother's absence will not be easily filled. I hope you can feel her presence in the things that most brought her joy. Warmest of wishes.
