Theria G. Tompkins, 95 of Shirley, passed away Thursday, October 1, 2020 in Greenfield. She was born October 20, 1924 in Russell Co. Kentucky, the daughter of the late Oscar and Bethania (Zimmerman) Gadberry.

She never missed a calling at the funeral home when a loved one or a friend passed away, because she was a friend to all. She retired from Delco Remy in 1993, after 46 1/2 years of service. She was a member of the Bethlehem Baptist Church in Naomi, Kentucky and belonged to three Red Hat Society clubs, Shirley Historical Society and the Wilkinson/Kennard Brotherhood Sisterhood.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Willard Tompkins; four sons; Herbert, Darwin, Robert and Randy Tompkins, daughter; Estelle McDonald, six sisters, four brothers, several grandchildren and great grandchildren.
