She had wonderful dinners int he summertime for the men who would help with the threshing of grain on our property.  She was a very strict mother and could put yuou in your place in a minute.  When I was a young boy, while Dad was on his mission, I knew that she was scared to death of mice.  One day I brought into the house some baby mice without their skin to show her.  She quickly kicked me out of the house.

As a teenager, she came from Sanpete County to stay with Ella Peacock and her family.  Evidently she did not get along with her father and had to leave home and ear her own living.  it was while living with the Peacock's that she met Dad.  He met her on the street one day and the spirit told him that she was to be his wife.  One night she and Dad were across the street visting with Alonzo and Wyone.  While coming home her hip cracked and broke.  She was laid up a long time and eventually results of the breawk was one of the causes of her death.

                   «b»Obituary - Deseret News, The (Salt Lake City, Utah) - Thursday, 25 March 2004  - Dessie Verene Worthington Thomas«/b» - 100 Years
   Dessie Verene Worthington Thomas, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, friend to many dear ones, and faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, died at her home in Provo on March 17, just six weeks before her 101st birthday.
She was born in Nephi, Utah, April 30, 1903, to Charles Edward Worthington and Mary Eliza Anderson Worthington, in their home in Nephi. When she was seven years old, the family moved to Emery, where her mother's family lived. On the trip from Nephi to Emery, in a family caravan consisting of two covered wagons and a family carriage, seven-year-old Dessie walked all the way on dirt roads and trails, caring along the way for Curly the cow, the family's prized possession.
Dessie attended the Emery Elementary School which she loved, and dreamed of further education. Finally she was able, from 1918 to 1922, to leave home to attend and graduate from the Emery Stake Academy in Castle Dale, where she formed dear lifelong friendships and rejoiced in the spiritual uplift of her school devotionals and theology classes. As a freshman, she entered the Church Education essay contest on the assigned topic, "The Past is Full of Glory, the Future is Full of Promise," and she won the prize for her school, receiving the award of a personal letter of commendation and an autographed book from President Heber J. Grant. She later gave the graduation address at the Academy in the presence of Church Education Superintendent «u»Adam S. Bennion «/u», a man whose words and vision inspired her then and throughout his many years of service. These events greatly shaped her life, her future career as a University of Utah student and the fulfilling of her dream to be an elementary school teacher, a missionary (in the Northern States Mission), and a wife and mother and leader in the Church.
Dessie was the third of six children and the last survivor of her sisters Eudean (Olsen), Ruby (Torgerson), Edna (Pack), Leta (Christiansen), and little brother Theron, who died in the influenza epidemic of 1918.
She married Edwin Moroni Thomas of Manassa, Colorado, on May 21, 1930, in the Salt Lake Temple. (He died in 1981). They settled in the Washington, D.C. area where their three sons, Grant (Byrdie), Gordon (Catherine), and Paul (Sandy) were born and raised. The family now includes 16 grandchildren, 38 great-grandchildren and two great-great-grandchildren.
Dessie served in Church callings throughout her life, including many happy years as a stake missionary in both the Washington and New York areas and as stake Relief Society president in the Washington Stake under Stake President Ezra Taft Benson, later in the New York Stake, and still later as first Relief Society president of the New Jersey Stake. Since she and Edwin moved to Provo in 1980, just as they celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary, she has been an active member of the Oak Hills Fifth Ward, where she has been much loved and has blessed many lives. She was serving as Relief Society visiting teaching district leader at the time of her death.
Funeral services will be held at the Oak Hills "hillside" chapel at 1900 North 1500 East in Provo, on Saturday, March 27, with the viewing at 10:30 a.m. and the funeral at 1:00 p.m. Interment will follow in the Provo City Cemetery.
