God has rested the soul of Markie McClendon Thomas who transitioned into glory on January 25, 2021. She was the daughter of Booker T. and Emma Woodard McClendon. Markie was a child of God and didn't mind sharing Him with anyone. She was married to the late George E. Thomas for 58 years. She filled her life with 46 years of employment between Holiday Inn and Drury Inn before retirement. Traveling, reading, trying her hand at cooking exotic dishes , playing spades, laughing with you and about you, everything Mobile Mardi Gras being Wragg Swamp's first crowned queen, never meeting a stranger and giving major hugs gave her much pleasure during her lifetime. She drew divine inspiration from Nazaree Full Gospel Church for over fifty years.
She leaves Tommy, Gwendolyn (Phillip Gregory, Jr), Rickey (Retha), Darryl (Juanita), and Harold to grow closer to Christ, celebrate her life, support each other and love others. Margo T. Wilson preceded her to glory four years ago.
