| Notes THE PARIS NEWS, Apr. 28, 2003: "Sunny Thomas, 88, of Paris passed away Saturday, April 26, 2003, at her home. Funeral services are set for 10 a.m. Tuesday, April 29, in the chapel of Gene Roden’s Sons Funeral Home with the Rev. Gary Regan and the Rev. Ray Starnes officiating. Burial will follow in the Evergreen Cemetery under the direction of Gene Roden’s Sons Funeral Home. A native of Paris, she was born April 27, 1914, to Gayther and Lucy Moore Rodgers. She attended Paris schools and graduated from Paris Junior College. She married W. J. ‘Bill’ Thomas on Nov. 9, 1940, and has made her home in Paris these 88 years. She was a member of First United Methodist Church since 1940. She was active in the Couples Class, United Methodist Women, the Lydia Hite Bible Club and the Ruth Circle, all at First United Methodist Church. She was also a member of C’est La Vie. She dedicated her life in service to others, for years taking flowers from the church to shut-ins. She served for 42 years as an Auxiliary Volunteer for Christus St. Joseph’s Hospital, accumulating a total exceeding 23,000 hours of volunteer service. Survivors include her husband; one son, Bob Thomas and wife, Sharon, of Paris; and three grandsons, Jonathan of Paris, Jeremy and wife, Robin, of Lubbock and Joseph and wife, Suzanne, also of Lubbock. Her life of selfless service was an inspiration and a blessing to many throughout the years. If desired, the family suggests memorials be made to First United Methodist Church of Paris." |
