She is also survived by her daughter-in-law Sharon Thomason of Fairfax, Oklahoma. Lula Mae has six great grandchildren, Stephanie Cox Pinkston, Jordan Cox, Erica Thomason, Dillon Wilson, Taylor Thomason and Kelsey Boitel. She has one great great granddaughter Miss Scout Pinkston.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband; one son, Billy Gene Thomason; three siblings, Dorothy Marley Hutcheson, Ed Marley and Elmer Leroy "Buddy" Marley.

Lula Mae loved her grandchildren and made sure each one knew it. There were so many fond memories of sleepovers, ice cream, popcorn and any request that were made. She had a way of making anyone in her presence feel welcome and loved. She also had a love for cooking. You never left her house hungry and if you did it was your own fault. She cooked for her family every Sunday after church and many other occasions. She had many talents which included quilting, embroidery, sewing, and watching her beloved birds. You could drive by her house almost any day that the sun was shining and temperatures were warm and see her sitting on her front porch watching the world go by. She was kept company for many years by her little dog Beans who made sure you knew who her owner was if you ever got too close.

Lula Mae had a few jobs over the years. She and her husband owned the Grill in town for a while, was employed at Anthony's and also was a cook at the Fairfax School Cafeteria. What most people will remember are her 30 years she ran the Senior Citizens Center of Fairfax which she helped establish. She worked well past what most would consider retirement age.

Lula was a sweet soul, never complaining and always wearing a smile. She was blessed with many years of good health, a sound mind and a family who loved her dearly. Lula Mae was growing tired and the Lord decided to bring her home. Grandma, we love you and we each will always have a special little part of our hearts where you will dwell forever.
