Mrs. Thompson as I always called her was a mother, mentor and friend to all who ever entered her presence. She for me was a co-worker at Taft Community Center but more than that she inspired me to be the best I could be. My mom new her as a very Christian and wonderful woman and always said to me, "Mrs. Thompson" is your second mom and when my mom passed in 2008 she became just that. She was so intelligent and basically ran the Community Center at Taft . All who entered that Center or lived in the Community which she had loved and thrived and helped so many who lived there thrive for so many years felt the presence of God and if you were not right with God you would feel and hear her correction. She was a very affluent woman of God but also a very savy business women who knew each and every board member on the San Joaquin Board of Supervisors and commanded their respect with her heart of gold set in God's Holy Word and her soft but firm intelligence of the business world. I love her to this day and my oldest Grandchild new and loved her as well as my daughter. She had the God given talent to support you, correct you and always love you as if you were one of her own dear children. I say to her children and grandchildren you were blessed with the very best God gave and she touched the world and will never be forgotten.
Marchell Smith Loving friend forever and grateful forever to have know your mom and grandmom.

May God Bless and keep you Clarissa, Terry and your whole family.
Your mom was mom to all people with whom she touched their lives.
She was a woman of God first and always, she was very professional and intelligent,she stood for every woman, every person who was abused or misused and was never afraid to voice her opinion on matters that affected her community and treated you as you were her family. I loved her I learned from her, I cherished all the time with her. God only takes the best home.

Mrs. May La Thomson was on of the Senior worker at Taft Community Center just around the corner from her house in Mourfield area. She took me in as her own daughter. One thing about Mrs. Thompson never fail to ask me if I had gone to church. She knew the importance of God and I appreciate her for always reminding me of that fact. She had long been retired at the Center, but many people still asked about her. She touched many lives she will be truly missed.
