Mrs. Thompson was born on June 7th, 1924 in Cornelia, GA, to the late Bolin G. and Lettie

Thompson was a member of Alto Baptist Church where she was a member of the Adult

seamstress at the Carwood Manufacturing Company. She then spent all her time and skills

enjoyed working outdoors in all its beauty. She especially loved her flowers, and she had a
green thumb! Her family refers to her as one of Northeast Georgia’s finest cooks when it
came to homemade country cooking and baking. She was an avid canner and enjoyed
harvesting and preserving the fruits of her and her husband’s labor. She loved her God and
her family. She was gifted with a ready smile and a wonderful laugh, and oh, how she
adored her grandchildren who lovingly called her “Granny”. She was the BEST!

Glenn and Rose Thompson, of Winder; grandchildren, Tommy Brian Thompson of
Winder, Christy Thompson Nerroth and her husband Michael C. Nerroth, Jr., of Winder;
