Erma Glee Thompson, 92, Hamilton, Mo., passed away on December 28, 2015, at the Cameron Regional Medical Center. She was born on October 11, 1923, in Nettleton, Mo., to Hollie O. and Roxie C. Douglass.

She graduated from Nettleton High School in 1941. She worked in the Emerson Electric Factory in St. Louis during World War II, and later worked at the Stride Rite shoe factory in Hamilton until her marriage.

She was united in marriage to John A. Thompson of Nettleton, on October 12, 1950 and to this union one son was born: Don A. Thompson.

She was a member of the Nettleton WPFA, Nettleton Community Church, and later the Hamilton First Baptist Church.

At the age of three she was stricken with polio which resulted in her left leg and foot being shorter and smaller than the right with no feeling. She never let it slow her down. She loved being outdoors, whether in the garden, mowing the yard, or driving a tractor when needed. She especially enjoyed watching deer come up to the house and having salt out for them.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, John; sisters-Geraldine Cox and Mary Lee Edmondson; and brothers-Corder Douglass and C. Ray Douglass.

Survivors include her son, Don, of Hamilton; sister-in-law, Betty Douglass, Chillicothe, Mo., and many nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews.
