Dorothy Jean

Thomas

Dorothy Jean (McGee) Thomas, 85, of Lesterville, MO, went home to be with her Lord on January 6, 2021. She was born on June 30, 1935, in Ridgely, TN, the youngest of five children of Gradie and Lula Henson. In addition to her parents, Dorothy was preceded in death by her two brothers, Lester Henson and Wilson Henson, her two sisters, Gladys Speer and Lucille Lindley, her oldest son, Harold E. McGee, Jr., and an infant granddaughter, Michele Rena Price. Dorothy was also preceded in death by her faithful Hearing Dog, Jenny, who provided years of service and companionship.

Dorothy was an avid reader which undoubtedly contributed to her fierce competitiveness when playing Scrabble. She loved cooking, baking, and fishing. She was delighted in making the rounds of thrift stores and yard sales. Dorothy was blessed to be able to share the home of Mike and Cheryl, her son and daughter-in-law, the last years of her life. They cared for her and Cheryl's mom, taking them to all their appointments and tending to all their needs.

Dorothy is survived by two sons, Michael McGee, Sr. (Cheryl) of Lesterville, MO, and Wade McGee of Gerald, MO, and daughter, Rena McGee Helms (Ned) of Monroe, NC. She was a loving grandmother, great-grandmother, aunt, great-aunt, sister and friend to all who knew her.

The family would like to express their appreciation to Safe Harbor Hospice for the care given to Dorothy during the final months of her life.

A Celebration of Life will be scheduled for a future date.
