MRS. CAMILLA PERKINS THOMPSON

Mrs. Thompson was such an exceptional lady. She taught me chemistry at Andrew Jackson and made learning exciting. Later, she encouraged me to stay the course in becoming an Alpha Kappa Alpha woman. Learning of her passing is very sad, but knowing that heaven has another faithful angel makes me happy and proud to have known her. Love and sympathy to the family.

Mrs. Thompson was my Sunday school teacher and one of the founders of the living witness Sunday class. She always sweet and kind to all . This beautiful soul will be miss a love by all who knew her. Well done this faithful child of God. Your legacy will lîve forever through the many people you have touch over the many years of life well lived. Thanks for your example of a godly woman. Rest in peace in our fathers arm.

Mrs. Thompson was my 11th and 12th grade chemistry teacher at William M. Raines High School. She was an excellent teacher and cared about all of her students. I also was in her homeroom, and each student received her thoughtful attention. She was one of the great ones. Years after Raines, I was fortunate to have a collegial association with Mrs. Thompson at Florida Community College and in the community. She was kind, caring, friendly, and an inspiration to all who knew her. I truly enjoyed hearing her share her knowledge of our local history. Mrs. Thompson was my mentor and friend. I will treasure my memories of her and will never forget the impact she had on my life. My prayers are with her family.

Mrs. Thompson was a fixture in Bethel and I can't remember a time in my childhood, where she didn't play a role. I am thankful, she was such a positive role model in my life. My thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends.

Mrs. Camilla Perkins Thompson was my favorite Jacksonville historian. I was grateful for the many lessons she gave me, and I will always remember her being present to cut the ribbon for Florida's first civil rights museum, in St. Augustine on July 2, 2014: the fiftieth anniversary of the signing of the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964. Rest in Peace, old friend, and thanks for all you did.
