Shirley Thomas Obituary

We are sad to announce that on August 11, 2023 we had to say goodbye to Shirley Thomas of Cape Girardeau, Missouri. You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family.

She was loved and cherished by many people including: her parents, James Eldon and Della Mae Wright (Martin); her husband Dick Thomas; her daughters, Gina Thomas (Cathy) of Cape Girardeau and Kelly Kern (Dennis) of New Hamburg; her grandchildren, Lindsay Kern, Eric Essner of Scott City, Alicia Kern, Luke Wilhite of Oran and Thomas Kern (Kristen) of New Hamburg; her great grandchildren, Timber Raye Kern of New Hamburg and Aubrey Paige Wilhite of Oran; and her sister Phylis Conyers of Springfield, Missouri..

Shirley's desire to contribute to the advancement of knowledge led her to choose body donation for scientific purposes. To honor Shirley's memory, her family encourages you to make a donation of blood through the American Red Cross or at a blood drive.
