Bio

Helen Jo Thomas (Ninny) entered eternal life on August 30, 2022 where she is once again able to do the things she loves. She was born November 15, 1934 to Dew and Myrtle Davis in Snyder, Texas. She married Harold Wayne Thomas on January 27, 1953 in Clovis, New Mexico. Jo and Wayne made their home in Post, Texas where they had four children: Syan, Tol, Tammye and Jendy. From an early age Jo proved to have a servant's heart! She spent her life caring for and serving the needs of other people. This came naturally to her since she was the seventh of nine children. There was always someone that needed her help be it siblings or parents. But her desire to serve others didn't stop with family. Her greatest joy came from feeding as many people as she could on a daily basis. And oh she was a wonderful cook! If she wasn't cooking at home, she was cooking at the Snack Shack then later in life at the Dairy Queen until her retirement. Living at the corner of all the schools her kitchen was a guaranteed place for a meal or snack before, during or after school. Cinnamon rolls for breakfast and to give as gifts, Hot Dogs for football concession stand and Chili beans for after game meals were a few of her well known items. Even though cooking was her greatest joy her service went beyond. Christmas was always an opportunity for her to give to others. She made sure anyone without a family or without a gift would get a gift. But with that gift came a home cooked meal. Jo was preceded in death by her husband, Wayne, of 68 years; Daughter Syan; Parents Dew and Myrtle Davis; 3 Brothers: Grady, Charlie and Calvin Davis; 4 Sisters: Dorothy Reed, Mary Nell Crawford, Wanda France and Claudine Ervin. This makes a house full which is what she loved most! Memorial Service will be held Saturday, September 24, 2022 at 11:00 A.M. at Hudman Funeral Home. A private, family burial will be held in Terrace Cemetery. In lieu of flowers please consider a donation to Garza County Trailblazers, Food Bank or the Alzheimer's Association.
