Marcy Thompson
Obituary
On March 4, 1954 Marcy Knierim Thompson was born to Mr. and Mrs. George Knierim in Muskogee, OK. Marcy passed from this life on Monday, November 29, 2010 at the age of 56. An only child, Marcy was her families' pride and joy. Marcy graduated Muskogee High School in 1972 where she excelled in academics and was a cheerleader. She received her BS Degree in Accounting from Oklahoma State University and was initiated in to the Delta Sigma chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma. While studying at OSU, Marcy met her husband, Doug, and the two were married on December 27, 1975. The couple relocated to Houston, and Marcy worked as a Joint Venture Accountant with Occidental Petroleum. In 1980 the Thompsons returned to Tulsa where Doug began working with his family business, Southwest Filter Co. and Marcy went to work for Samson as a Joint Venture Accountant. She actively gave back to her community by volunteering with Junior League, Tulsa Boys' Home, Junior Opera Guild and many other organizations. Although her professional and community work kept her busy, her most important role came in October, 1985 when she became a mother for the first time to her son, Adam, and again in April, 1988 to daughter, Amanda. Nothing gave her greater joy than raising her children and being a "golf and cheer mom". Marcy was a dedicated OSU Cowboys fan and remained loyal to them through thick and thin, traveling across the country to cheer on her Pokes. A long time member of First Christian Church, she loved her Sunday School class and will be dearly missed by all in the Patrian Class. Her father, George Knierim and her mother and stepfather Mary and Fred Fleak preceded Marcy in death. She is survived by her husband, Douglas Thompson, son Adam Thompson, daughter Amanda Thompson, mother-in-law Claudean Thompson, brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Michael and Claudia Harveth and niece Erin, all of Tulsa. She is remembered with love by all who knew her. The family will receive friends from 5 - 7PM Thursday at the Ninde Brookside Funeral Home. A memorial service and reception will be held 11:00AM Friday, December 3 at First Christian Church, 913 S. Boulder Ave. In lieu of flowers the family requests that donations be made to the Muscular Dystrophy Association, 3015 E. Skelly Dr., #221A, Tulsa, OK 74105 -or- www.MDAUSA.org.

Marcy was in my sixth grade class the first year I taught elementary school at Tony Goetz in Muskogee. That was almost fifty years ago and through the years I have often thought of her and wondered about her. She has stood out in my mind all these years as an absolutely precious little girl with the sweetest smile and happiest disposition I offer her family and friends my deepest sympathy in their loss of such an unforgettable little girl.

Dear Doug, Amanda and Adam: I first met Marcy in first grade. We went to elementary, junior high and high school together. When we graduated, we went to OSU and pledged the same sorority. We have a friendship that has lasted over 50 years. We have stayed in touch through the years, especially the last two. When she found out about my health problems, she would call periodically to check on me...and I would check on her. I thought she would be around for a long time....I am really going to miss her. Today, I was looking through some papers and I ran across this poem...I don't know the author but I really liked it and thought I would share it with you. "You and I will meet again. When we're least expecting it. One day in some far off place, I will recognize your face. I won't say good-bye my friend, For you and I will meet again." I feel certain that when we meet again, she will be young, full of energy, free from pain...the girl I remember from my younger days.... Doug, I know how much she loved you, Amanda and Adam. She was proud of her family. Continue to make her proud. I will keep you in my prayers. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help. Love, Marsha Casey Jenkins
