Mary Louise Graham Thomason
Mary Louise Graham Thomason
In 2011, Louise moved to Macomb, Illinois, to be closer to her daughter and granddaughter. She joined Wesley United Methodist Church and quickly became involved in United Methodist Women, the Beth Moore Studies, and in the Prayer Shawl Ministry. Louise always loved to meet people and get to know them. She was committed to visiting church members and others in area nursing homes, often gifting them with colorfully made bookmarks. She truly never met a stranger. Upon meeting someone, the person was instantly a friend and would receive one of her personalized bookmarks. Louise’s greatest joy was her granddaughter. She loved attending Halle’s recitals, ball games, and school activities.
For several years Louise enjoyed living at Everly House in Macomb and in 2022 moved to The Elms. The family would like to thank all the caregivers and employees at The Elms for the wonderful and compassionate care Louise received. Louise’s family would also like to thank Pastor Melly Momo for being such a compassionate minister and friend to Louise.
The family will receive friends and family on Saturday, February 17, 2024 from noon-1:30 p.m. at Benton Funeral Home in Hampton. Funeral service will be at 2:00 on Saturday, February 17, 2024 at New Hope Cemetery in Woodbury, Arkansas with Pastor Charles McBryde officiating. Memorial contributions may be made to Everly House or The Elms in Macomb, Illinois. To sign the online register visit www. bentonfuneral.home.net.
