Terry Mays Thompson

Terry Mays Thompson also known as "Country" by his friends entered into eternal rest on Wednesday, June 4, 2025 at the age of 71 with his beloved wife Laurie at his side.  Terry was a native of Decatur, Georgia but lived in Marrero, LA for the last 38 years.  He is the youngest of 8 children born to the late Willie Thompson & the late Christine Mays Thompson.  He is preceded in death by his brothers Bobby Gene Thompson, Lonnie Earl Thompson and Homer Wayne Thompson.  He is survived by his siblings Samuel "Sammy" Lee Thompson (Judy), Wansley Lucille Thompson, Wanda Louise Hall, and Anne Christine Maddox (Billy).  In addition to many nieces and nephews, Terry also had a daughter Ashly Michelle from a previous marriage.

Terry retired from the field of construction/property maintenance and found joy and contentment working in his yard, planting a garden and taking care of projects around the house. You could always see him hosing off his driveway, watering his flowers and garden in the afternoon with his beloved english bulldog, Jethro Bodine at his side. 

Terry lived life on his terms and will leave a profound void in the lives of those who loved him. His wife Laurie would like to thank Dr. Germond and the staff of the 8th floor at LCMC "West Jefferson" hospital for the compassionate care they provided during his brief stay. She would also like to thank her sister cousins Peggy and Patty for their support and assistance.
