Edna Thompson

Edna Faye Thompson, 83, passed peacefully in the early afternoon of June 6, 2015 in Altamonte Springs, FL. She was born in Sunshine (Harlan County), KY on January 17, 1932. She was preceded in death by her husband, George Riley Thompson, her parents William D. Tinker and Mary Tinker (nee Stoner), brothers Harlan and James Tinker and sisters Edith Hammack and Ruby Ingle.

She was also a member of many social organizations during her early life in Harlan and Loyall, KY.
