OBITUARY
"I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day:" 2 Timothy 4:7-8a
Our Mother, Mrs. Marie Louise Thome "pushed for her heavenly home" and arrived safely there, being satisfied with Jesus.
Mama was bom March 14, 1927 to the late Mrs. Sarah Dallas and the late Dea. John Jasper, in Edgefield, South Carolina.
In May of 1937, Mama united with Christ by baptism at the Antioch Baptist Church of Augusta, Georgia under the pastorship of the late Rev. I. J. Yancey. She was a faithful servant of God and a devoted member of Antioch for 63 years. She used her God-given talent of singing in the Gospel Choir for numerous years.
Mother married our father, Robert Gilmore Thome, who preceded her in death.
Mother leaves to cherish fond memories a son, Jimmy D. Thome, and a devoted daughter, Janis Thome Daniel, both of Augusta, Georgia; three grandchildren, Sarah T. (Calvin) Rogers of Madison, Alabama, Eddie Thome of Birmingham, Alabama, and Jimmy D. Thome, Jr. of Tyler Texas; three great-grandchildren, Calvin Rogers and A'Yonnika Rogers both of Madison Alabama, and Alexandria Marie Thome of Tyler, Texas; a niece, Barbara Thome Hunter of Rocky Mount, North Carolina; three half-sisters and a half-brother; special friends Mrs. Rosa Bourgeois, Mrs. Marial Tutt, Mrs. Lillian Kenner, Dea. and Mrs. Johnny Nailor, Dea. and Mrs. William Cherry, Mr. and Mrs. Franklin Bell, and Mrs. Marcia Leverett, all of Augusta, Georgia; Mrs. Sheila Smith of Jamestown, North Carolina; Mrs. Mildred Harris, Mrs. Ruby Ridley, Mrs. Mary Evans, and Ms. Carolyn Davis all of Augusta, Georgia; and a host of cousins and friends.

G od grant me... The serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
The courage to change the things I can, and The wisdom to know the difference.
During Mother's lifetime she enjoyed many activities and hobbies. Her favorite was using her voice to sing for her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Mother was a loving and devoted family woman. She was a kind-hearted individual who never hesitated to help anyone.
Yes, my Mother was my First Lady. She was my pride and joy. She was my precious jewel. Her illness was the result of her hard labor providing for her children. She was my Special Lady. She was my Mother.
Mother I love you and will miss you very much. Thanks for the fond memories.
Love,
Your Daughter, Janis
May the love o f God enfold her, May the power o f God protect her, May the presence o f God watch over her.
Wherever she is.... God is, And all is well.
In Appreciation We, Janis and Jimmy, wish to express our deep appreciation for the many acts of kindness and support extended to us during our Mother's illness and this period of bereavement. Truly, your love and thoughtfulness will be treasured always. May God grant unto each of you His richest blessings.
A special thanks to Saint Joseph's Hospice Blue Team personnel, Ms. Carolyn Williams, Cindy Drake, Cindi Reimer, Janice Pearson, and Pam Thomas.
Also, a very special thank you to our Pastor, Rev. Kenneth B. Martin, Ms. Tina Hanna, the Antioch Baptist Church Family, and the Houghton Elementary School Faculty and Staff.
