Obituary for Theda Bara Poplin (Throgmorton)

14, 2016 at Starr Regional Medical Center.
Theda was born March 4, 1919 in Camden, TN to the late Thomas Jefferson and Eva Stemm Throgmorton. She was also preceded in death by five sisters, her husband Ivol R. Thomas, Sr who was the love of her life, and her second husband Luther Poplin. She was named by her older sister for a famous silent movie star Theda Bara. Theda was kind, witty, and a loving mother to her three children and to all who knew her, and a very independent woman. She will be missed by all.
She was the oldest member of Allen Memorial United Methodist Church. She was associated with White-Westinghouse until her retirement.
She is survived by her three children and their spouses, Ray and Vickie Thomas and Bob and Barbara Thomas all of Athens and Barbara and Jim Ball of Englewood; nine grand children; twenty two great-grandchildren; four great-great-grandchildren; many special friends whom she loved; and her car.
The family would like to give a special thank you to Dr. Vickie Turnbough who took care of Theda for 20 years and also the nurses on B wing at Starr Regional Medical Center, and the hospitalist Dr. Tanner.
A graveside service will be conducted 1:30 pm, Wednesday, November 16, 2016 at McMinn Memory Gardens with Rev. Charla Sherbakoff officiating. The family will receive friends from 11:00am-1:00 pm Wednesday, at Smith Funeral Home prior to the service.
The family suggests memorials be made to Allen Memorial United Methodist Church, 800 Decatur Pike, Athens, TN 37303.
Pallbearers will be grandsons, great-grandsons and special friends, Nathan Thomas, Bryson Thomas, Bradley Thomas, Blake Thomas, Brian Jennings, Chip Ellison, Grant Ellison, Kaiden Ellison, S.L. Johnson, and Allan Bailey.
If you are unable to attend this service or visitation you may sign the guest register at www.smithfuneral&cremationservicesofathens.com.
