Grace Anderson Thompson 


    KERNERSVILLE — Grace Anderson Thompson , 85, formerly of Burlington, died following several months of declining health on Sunday, December 31, 2006.
    A memorial service will be held at Parkway United Church of Christ in Winston-Salem on Saturday, January 6, 2007 at 11 a.m. and at First Reformed United Church of Christ in Burlington on Saturday, January 13, 2007 at 2 p.m. The family will receive friends after the service.
    A native of Alamance County, Mrs. Thompson  was the daughter of Fanny Clapp Anderson  and William Lloyd Anderson , both deceased. She was a member of First Reformed United Church of Christ and the Fesperman Class for many years. More recently she enjoyed fellowship with Parkway United Church of Christ families.
    Mrs. Thompson  served the Battle of Alamance DAR as registrar. Her inspiration and work was an essential part of the development of the Clapp’s Mill Memorial at Lake Mackintosh and the restoration and refurbishing of Old Brick Church. She was a charter member of a Couples Club and the Clapp Family Association. She served numerous terms as president of the Alamance County Genealogical Society, sat on the Alamance County Historical Museum Board and recently established a library in her home on Clapp family land.
    A quintessential researcher, Mrs. Thompson’s  genealogical materials appeared in Clapp Family Newsletters, the Guilford and Alamance County Genealogical journals, an Albright/Clapp researcher’s book, and dedications marking Revolutionary War gravesites. She has been cited on the Internet and across state lines, yet insisted she was "a kitchen worker and a back row sitter."
    Her husband, A.G. Thompson  Jr., preceded her in death.
    Mrs. Thompson  is survived by sisters, Janet Schiffelbian of Center Moriches, L.I.N.Y., Frances Johnson and husband, E.J., of Greensboro and Carolyn Patterson and husband, Tyson, of Burlington; children, Susanne Turner of Durham, Donna Bonds and husband, John, of Kernersville, David Thompson  and wife, Mary, of Burlington; grandchildren, Caroline Bonds of Bryson City, N.C., Jared Bonds of Kernersville, Mark Thompson  and wife, Ann, of Italy, Wyatt Thompson  and wife, Bess, of Greenwood, S.C., Andrew Turner and wife, Ashlee, of Bassett, Va., and David Turner of Newport News, Va.; great-grandgirls, Payton, Casandra and Sarah Bonds of Kernersville and Katie Maya Thompson  of Italy.
    Memorials may be made to First Reformed United Church of Christ, on Front Street in Burlington or Parkway United Church of Christ on Silas Creek Parkway in Winston-Salem.
    The Cremation Services Inc. of Winston-Salem is in charge of arrangements. 3, Grace Anderson Thompson
