Marsha Louise Tompkins, 70, of Granbury, TX, entered into the presence of the Lord our God on September 1, 2022, in Weatherford, TX. Tragically, she succumbed to injuries following a tragic accident. Marsha was born on December 31, 1951 to Edwin P. and Geraldine Shadle in Carlsbad, NM. She grew up in Iowa Park, TX, and in 1970 married Charles A. Tompkins, Sr. of Wichita Falls, TX. In 1974 and 1976, she gave birth to Charles Allen Tompkins and Bonnie Elaine Tompkins, respectively. She lived in Fort Worth, Alvarado, Mansfield, and Granbury throughout the years. She studied nursing for a short time, but was primarily a stay-at-home mother until she helped her husband in his construction business.
Marsha is preceded in death by her parents (Edwin P. and Geraldine Shadle), her sister (Avanelle Barnette), her daughter (Bonnie Elaine Tompkins-Burton), her mother and father-in-law (Thomas A. and Francis E. Tompkins), nephews (Dan Kimberling and Glen Drake), numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins.
She is survived immediately by:
- Charlie Tompkins her husband of 52 years,
- Charles and Stephanie Tompkins (son and daughter-in-law),
- Elly, Maddie, & Lindsay (granddaughters)
Marsha, my mother, will be missed during our time left on this earth. But, great news, she accepted our Lord Jesus Christ as her Savior – I know, because I only asked her a 100 times! Our God, IS GOD and I am eternally grateful for his grace. I leave you with this:
- Romans 8:38-39
- Genesis 18:25 (the answer to the rhetorical question asked by Abraham is YES)
- Isaiah 55:9
- Proverbs 3:5
- John 14:1-4
- Revelation 21 (Mom is in the Lord’s presence and it is indescribable)
