Jean Dismukes Thomas "Scy's Angel"

Jean Dismukes Thomas, "Scy's Angel," went to heaven on Saturday, July 24, 2021, at the age of 78. Born in 1942 in Eufaula, she was raised in Barbour County, Alabama. She also lived in Columbus, GA; Florida; and almost 30 years in Birmingham before returning to her childhood home in Comer, AL.

Jean was a 1960 graduate of Eufaula High School, where she was head & drum majorette. She attended Auburn University where she was a member of Kappa Delta sorority and majored in physical education until she married her high school sweetheart in 1962.

A volunteer and an active member of her community, Jean served as president of the Women's Club, was a member of the Pink Ladies, taught piano lessons, and worked in administration for several churches and organizations including the American Heart Association and Cancer Society. While living in Birmingham, she directed and coordinated many weddings. Upon her return to Barbour County, she was in the Homemakers Club, President of the Azalea Garden Club, and volunteered giving bus tours of Eufaula and home tours during the annual Pilgrimage and Tour of Homes. She was an election official, serving until her passing, as a polling inspector in Shelby and Barbour Counties.

A strong, brave, two-time cancer survivor, Jean was known for her cooking, hospitality, sweet smile and kind spirit. She loved God, was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother and friend - a true southern lady.
