On Monday night, October 2, 2017, an angel came and closed the eyes of Sis. Bertha Mae Thompson, and took her home of eternal rest. She was born on June 15th, 1933 to the late Fannie and Cecil Dean in Meriwether County, Georgia. She joined the White Plaines United Methodist Church at an early age. She served as a class leader for many years. When her health began to fail she couldn’t attend church but she held on to her faith.

She was a member of the UBA Lodge No. 108 and the Heroines of
Jericho.

She leaves to mourn her three daughters, Mrs. Barbara (Roger)
Williams, Patricia Smith, and Mattie Williams, all of Greenville, GA;
four sons, Ronald (Rebecca) Cameron, Willie Cameron Jr., Greenville,
GA, James Smith, Newnan, GA, Larry (Cheryl) Smith, Alabama; three
