Obituary

Life Celebration Services will be held in our chapel Saturday, APRIL 30, 2016, 11:00 A. M. with burial following in Lawrence Serenity Sanctum.

A family jewel, a beloved friend and a neighborhood sweetheart-- our dear Nettie Marie Thompson, affectionately known as "Dot" became a unique gift to her parents, the late Clyde Thompson and Inez Harris Thompson in Natchitoches, LA two days after Valentine (February 16th) in 1953. She peacefully transitioned into the loving arms of her Heavenly Father April 19, 2016 surrounded by her dear family at the Grace Home Medical Facility in Alexandria, LA.

"Dot" realized there was life after death and had a spiritual inclination that led her to confess Christ as her personal Lord and Savior, become baptized by the Rev. William Phillips, Sr. and to unite with the New Morning Star Baptist Church of St. Maurice, LA.

Her education was secured in the parochial classrooms of the Nuns from the Convent of Divine Providence at the St. Anthony Piegay Memorial Catholic on Fifth Street where she studied along with her sisters for a number of years.

She will be fondly remembered as a quiet and caring daughter, a gentle soul who was always concerned with the good of others and had a sharing spirit with family and friends. Dot was a person of consistent character and she could be counted on to remain the same. Her gift was in those capable hands which designed beautifully sewn garments and she utilized them to adorn herself in a classic sense of style. Beyond that talent, she was an artist who created beautiful drawings without the help of any mechanical instruments or a computer.

Preceding her in death were her parents, her sister, Luzenia Berryman, two nephews, Horace "Sonny" Berryman and Shamichael "Mike" Berryman.

Her beautiful spirit will live on in the hearts and memory of her family: a sister, Gloria Thompson Jones (Alton Ray) of Natchitoches, a brother, Edward "Bubba" Thompson of Natchitoches, a niece who is more like a sister, Kathryn Ross (Shelton) of Natchitoches, a nephew who was like a son, Sean Berryman (LaShonda) of Natchitoches, LA, nieces: Veada Thompson (Larry), Ashley Mims (Brannon), a great niece and shopping companion, LaTonya Ross; nephews: Carlos Lewis of Houston, TX and Quentin Smith of Natchitoches, LA along with a number of other great and great, great nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.
