In Memory Of

Jean Thompson

October 16, 1927 – March 26, 2020

Evelyn Jeanette (Jean) Thompson passed away on March 26,2020 at Beehive Home in Helena with her sister Betty by her side. Jean was born on October 16,1927 to Sam and Ethel White in Hannibal, Missouri. Sam and Ethel moved their family to the Elliston Mt area in the early 1930’s were Sam was employed by the Elliston Lime Company.

Jean met the “love of her life” Harold Thompson and they were married on September 27, 1947 and made their home in Helena Mt. They eventually purchased a home in Elliston where they resided for over 50 years. Mom loved cooking, baking, and visiting with her family and friends. She also loved to shop, go out to eat, and go on sight seeing trips.

Jean was preceded in death by her husband Harold Thompson, her loving daughter Dana Varacalle, her brother Sam White Jr, and her parents Sam and Ethel White.

Jean is survived by her daughters Carolyn Alm and husband Ronnie Alm of Townsend, Mt and Dalene Greene and husband Rodney Greene of Sanford,TX and son Harold Thompson Jr. of Helmville Mt. Mom was the proud grandmother of eight grandchildren, Ericka Alm-Thalmann, Chris Alm, James Thompson, Mark Thompson, Brittany Hinz, Kyle Irvin, Chase Herriman, and Brigan Wheat. Jean was also blessed with ten greatgrandsons. Jean is also survived by her sister Betty Smith and several very special friends.

Due to the circumstances of the current Coronovirus Jean will be cremated and a Celebration of Life will be held at a later date in Elliston.

    I am so sorry for your family’s loss. Jean was a friend of our families especially my mom Helen. They shared so much during their time at BeeHive. I loved visiting with Jean she could always make me laugh. Her stories of her life and family were so interesting. She is a tough lady but had a heart of gold. I am blessed to have known her.

    Sorry to hear Jean passed. She was a character and an absolute fun person to be around. She will never be forgotten. I will always miss her humor and the way Jean was Jean.
