Dessie G., daughter of Lillian (Nash) and Alby Jewell, was born in Byron on April 4, 1914, and passed away at Harry Hynes Memorial Hospice Center in Wichita, Kan., on Sept. 29, 2013, at the age of 99 years, 5 months, and 27 days.

Dessie attended the Byron Amorita school system.

She was married to Virgil Thomas in February of 1930 in Byron. To their marriage two daughters, Marilyn and Iris, were born.

Following their marriage they made their home in Wichita. She retired from Beech Aircraft and they moved to Amorita. Virgil passed away on Nov. 25, 1995, and Dessie moved back to Wichita.

Her hobby was quilting. She made many beautiful quilts all by hand with her perfect tiny stitches, and she also did lovely embroidery work.

Dessie was preceded in death by her husband Virgil, daughter Marilyn and grandson Kent, and three sisters and brothers.

Dessie is survived by her daughter Iris Sandorn and her husband Rosco, four grandchildren, eight great-grandchildren and nine great-great-grandchildren. She will be greatly missed by all of her loving family.
