Charlene Thomas' Obituary
Charlene Thomas
Charlene Thomas, of Brady, passed away on Sunday, June 7, at the age of 75. Visitation with the family will be on Wednesday, June 10 from 10 a.m. to 12 noon at Mason Funeral Home. The funeral service will be held on Wednesday, at 3:00 p.m. at the First United Methodist Church in Mason with Rev. Colleen Haley leading the service. Interment will follow in the Gooch Cemetery.
Survivors include a son Kelly Thomas and wife Annette of Mason, a daughter Debby Gray and husband Larry of Yoakum and a granddaughter Rachel Nicole Brereton and husband Richard of Cedar Park.
Charlene was born in Mason on November 11, 1939 to Arch Starks and Pearl Kidd Starks. Her parents were ranchers and she grew up riding horses and doing ranch work. The first word she said was not "mama" or "dada" but was the name of her mother's horse! Charlene never lost her strong work ethic or her love of the outdoors.
In 1958 she graduated from Mason High School. In High School she was a cheerleader. She married her high school sweetheart, the star of the football team, Melvin Thomas. They were together for 56 years until his death in March of this year.
Charlene and Melvin eventually settled in Fort Stockton where Charlene worked for the Fort Stockton School District as a financial secretary for 36 years. She was active in the Fort Stockton Volunteer Fire Department Auxilliary, served as a Mentor at Fort Stockton High School and was an active member of the Methodist Church in Fort Stockton where she taught Sunday School for many years.
After she and Melvin retired, they moved to Brady so they could be closer to their Mason County roots. Charlene continued to stay active as long as her health allowed. She served as Secretary for the Cutting Horse Association and she loved being outdoors hunting or riding horses. She was a strong minded individual and maintained her strong work ethic. Charlene had a deep love for animals, especially her 3 dachshunds.
Memorials in her honor may be made to the Alzheimer Association.
Condolences may be sent to the family on-line at masonfuneralhome.net.
Funeral arrangements have been entrusted to Mason Funeral Home.
