OBITUARY
 
Thompson, Mary Perry Mary Perry Thompson (1924 - 2013) April 21, 1924 - March 30, 2013 Fun. Funny. Gracious. Strong. Loving matriarch. Always putting others first until her last day with us on this earth. Mary Perry Thompson passed peacefully from this world on March 30, 2013 in Carrollton, Texas. She was preceded in death by her loving husband of 60 years, Bill R. Thompson. A beloved wife, sister, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, Mary is survived by her daughters Suzi Ferrante and husband Russell, Debbie Drill and husband Scott, grandson Tony Ferrante and wife Jennifer and great-granddaughters Kyla and Claire. She is also survived by four of her seven brothers and sisters, Jack Perry, Martha Williams, Ed Perry and Earl Perry, and many beloved nieces and nephews. Mary was an active, life-long member of the First Baptist Church of Carrollton serving in a variety of capacities including Sunday School teacher, Vacation Bible School teacher, member of Women's Missionary Union and on numerous committees. A descendent of A. W. Perry, one of the founding fathers of Carrollton, and daughter of Henry and Edna Perry, Mary was active in the community and served as a docent at the A. W. Perry Homestead Museum in Carrollton. Mary worked in the Carrollton-Farmers Branch school system for 20 years as a school secretary and later in the school tax office until she retired at age 62. Mary loved hosting large family gatherings and welcomed one and all to her parties including friends and sometimes strangers who joined in the fun. Mary had a special way about her that made an imprint on the hearts of all who knew her. She will be deeply missed by family and friends, but her legacy of love and our many sweet memories will keep her forever in our hearts. Memorial service will be held on Wednesday, April 3, 2013 at 10:00 a.m. at Rhoton Funeral Home, 1511 S. I-35 E., Carrollton, TX 75006.
