Dorothy Erline Crump Thompson, went to heaven on December 16, 2010 at the age of 90 years. "Dot" peacefully died surrounded by her three daughters, and her loving caretaker, Linda Reed Harris. Born and raised in East Texas, Dorothy was especially proud of her parents, Zannie and Clara "Dee" Crump and their contribution to the education of many students in Timpson and Bridge City. Her only sibling, Edna Crump Kazar, whom Dot affectionately called ‘Sista Bo,' was also waiting to greet her in heaven. Dot graduated from Stephen F. Austin Teachers College (now Stephen F. Austin State University), married (Dr. James D. Thompson) and raised her four children in Port Arthur, Texas. She enjoyed every moment of their activities, from girl scouts, dance recitals, TJ football games and watching all three daughters march with the Red Hussar Drum & Bugle Corp. Dot enjoyed all sports, especially the Houston Astros. She was a great cook, loved to shop, travel and work crossword puzzles, but more than anything, she enjoyed spending time with her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She cherished her family: daughter Kay Thompson Schnitzius and her husband, Tom; daughter Jan Thompson Gardner, daughter Joanie Thompson Yust and her husband, Paul; and son Jim Thompson. She treasured her grandchildren and great-grandchildren: grandson Brent Schnitzius, his wife Kim and their daughter, Avalon; granddaughter Stacey Schnitzius Nash and her stepchildren, Sophie and Patrick; grandson Brad Gardner; grandson Matt Yust, his wife Macey and their son, John Walker; granddaughter Katie Yust; grandson Adam Yust; grandson James Thompson; granddaughter Mariam Thompson and her son Bradyn and granddaughter Rebecca Thompson. Following a family celebration of Dot's life, her ashes will be interred in the Blair Cemetery, Timpson, Texas, alongside her loving parents, Zannie & Clara Crump.
