Utahna "Tahna" Thompson

December 31, 2017

Utahna "Tahna" Thompson passed away peacefully in her sleep at her home in Conyers, Georgia, at the age of 99 on December 31, 2017. She was born Utahna Broadbent in Richfield, Utah, in 1918. She moved to San Francisco as a child, and spent much of her young adulthood there. She worked for the telephone company in San Francisco before marrying Earl Thompson. She was a homemaker and considered raising her three daughters as the most important job in her life. She lived in New Orleans, Westfield, New Jersey, and New Port Richey, Florida, before finally moving to Conyers to be with her two older daughters. She was an inspiration to all who knew her. Her love of life and her feisty spirit touched so many in her long life. She loved dancing, flirting, socializing, and gambling. She will join the love of her life, her husband, Earl, for eternity in New Port Richey. She leaves behind her daughters, Lorna Shea, Linda Nevers, and Roberta Dunn, her sons-in-law, Tom Shea, Stanley Nevers, and Jim Dunn, her granddaughters Erin Moreau, Jessica Dunn, and Ashley Day, her great-grandchildren, Nicholas Moreau, Alex Moreau, Charlotte Shaw Dunn and Everett Day as well as Chanda Shaw, Chris Moreau, and Steve Day. A memorial service will be held Friday, January 26, 2018 at 2:00 pm in the chapel of Wheeler Funeral Home with Rev. Tanner Cline officiating. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to the Humane Society or the ASPCA, as our mother loved animals so very much.
