In the earliest years of her work life Gene worked as a waitress, but it didn't take long to realize that working in a business was not enough. She became a "Business Woman", owning her own businesses that included a clothing store, a crafts and gift shop and later a restaurant. She was most happy as a Florist, owning "Gene's Flower and Craft Shop" in Grenada, MS for over 20 years. Gene was a member of Tri County Baptist Church in Stewart and was the designated "Wrangler". There was no such thing as an unruly child. "Give them to me" Gene would say, and Church would continue. Preceding her in death were her parents; Howard and Lillie Thompson, her loving husband and partner; Floyd N. Marsh, two grandsons; Jesse and Joshua White, three brothers; James, Odell and Benny Thompson and three sisters; Dorothy Hartaway, Nettie Ruth Wright and Bonnie Morelan.
