Eunice Thompson Obituary
Eunice was born July 10, 1931 in Cleburne County, Alabama to the late Walter JD McCormick and Mattie Norrell McCormick. In addition to her parents, she is preceded in death by her husband of 50 years, Olis Warren Thompson; son, James W. Thompson; daughter in law, Judy P. Thompson; and brothers and sisters in law, Leon and Sarah McCormick and Earl and Catherine McCormick.
Family meant everything to Eunice. She found her greatest joy in caring for those she loved, always making sure everyone felt welcome, nourished, and cherished. Her love was not just spoken, it was shown in all she did.
She had a special gift for quilting, each stitch sewn by hand with love. Her cooking brought family together, filling the home with warmth. She would be the first to send a 7-up cake to a neighbor in need of feeling loved and noticed.
A woman whose love and acts of kindness were guided by her unwavering faith. She lived her beliefs daily, offering grace, compassion, and encouragement to all who knew her.
Eunice is survived by her sons and daughters in law, Anthony and Valerie Thompson, Michael and Darlene Thompson, and Gary Thompson, all of Muscadine, AL; grandchildren and their spouses, Cassie and Nick Addison, Julie and Shane Mann, Jason and Jennifer Thompson, Jennifer and Jason Taylor, Bree and Ryan Puckett, and Haley and Seth Statham; twelve great grandchildren and three great great grandchildren; and daughter in law, Vickie Thompson, of Tallapoosa, GA.

Music will be provided by Valarie Davis and Steven Bentley. Gentlemen serving as pallbearers will be Jason Thompson, Jason Taylor, Ryan Puckett, Seth Statham, Nick Addison, and Hunter Morgan.
