| Notes THE PARIS NEWS, Aug. 03, 2003: ’Norma Jean ‘Jeanie’ Thomas, 73, of Sumner died Thursday, July 31, 2003, at her home. Graveside rites will be conducted at 10 a.m. Monday, Aug. 4, in Evergreen Cemetery with Dr. Randall Perry officiating. Fry & Gibbs Funeral Home has charge of the arrangements. The family will receive friends from 4 to 5 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 3, at the funeral home. She was born Aug. 13, 1929, in Dallas to Paul Ludwig and Freda Telkamp Petersen. She graduated as salutatorian of the Pleasant Grove High School class of 1946 and was a member of the girls basketball team during her high school career. She married Eugene Jackson Thomas on Feb. 17, 1951, in Dallas. She was a bookkeeper for Paul’s Florist and McNabb Florist in Dallas and later was the administrative bookkeeper of Paris Janitor Supply here in Paris for more than 23 years. She was a member of First Baptist Church and for many years, she visited the children in her third grade Sunday school class and took pride in arranging interest centers for them for the Sunday morning class. She and her husband had also worked with middle school young people in church training on Sunday evenings. She was an avid domino player and enjoyed spending evenings around the forty-two table with friends. In later years, she took up golf and as in everything she did, learned to play well. She was an excellent cook and was pleased to feed friends and family members at numerous dinners during the years. One of her specialties was lentil soup, a recipe she had learned from her mother. She was preceded in death by her parents and a brother, Paul Wayne Petersen. Survivors include her husband, Eugene, of Sumner; two sons, Dwayne Eugene Thomas of Plano and Michael Lee Thomas of Sumner; several cousins; numerous nieces and nephews; and a host of friends whose lives are richer for having known and loved Jeanie Thomas. She was a quiet lady who worked behind the scenes and never wanted notoriety for herself." On the same stone with Eugene Jackson Thomas. |
