The House of Representatives of Louisiana has expressed its heartfelt condolences on the passing of Mable Harris Thomas, who was born on May 14, 1926, in Napoleonville, Louisiana. Mable was deeply involved in her community and faith, being a member of several churches and known for her service within the United Methodist community. She had a strong passion for education, which led her to a successful 31-year career as an educator in Assumption and Jefferson Parishes, where she also obtained a special education certification. Mable was married to Joseph "Brushback" Thomas, a notable football player at Grambling College, and she continued to contribute to her community through various volunteer efforts after her retirement.
Mable Harris Thomas is remembered not only for her dedication to education and community service but also for her loving family, which includes her son, grandchildren, and great-grandchild. She was an active member of Delta Sigma Theta and a devoted supporter of local sports teams. The resolution acknowledges the profound impact she had on those around her and expresses the hope that her family and friends find comfort in their cherished memories of her life.
