10857	Thelma Louise Slover, age 87, of Flora, Illinois, passed away Tuesday, October 1, 2013. Born July 17, 1926 to Rex and Zora Kitley. Thelma survived in good humor the Great Depression and World War II. Although she graduated from Roosevelt High in St. Louis, she considered her friends in the Flora High Class of 1944 to be her true graduating class. While waiting for husband-to-be John Slover to return from the war, she engaged in her own war effort at McQuay Norris, supervising an assembly line of 13 "girls" building nose cones for bombs. Like Rosie the Riveter, when the war was over, so was her job. Jobs for women were scarce, but she soon found employment with the American Red Cross. Thelma married her own personal war hero in 1946. In later years, she was the girl Friday to the joint real estate and insurance offices of Bob Garrison and Lyman Bottorff, where, in addition to those considerable duties, she also kept the City's books and operated the Western Union telegraph. She later became an officer of the Flora Savings and Loan Association, from which she eventually retired. Thelma never shied from trying something new. In school, it was basketball and skating; later, it was dance classes, ice skating, archery, horseback riding, water skiing, and even downhill skiing. She once considered, but drew the line at, skydiving and bungee jumping. Nothing put the light in Thelma's eyes more than being around her family, especially her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She loved to hear their stories and share their joys. She will be sadly missed by all who survive her: husband John, son Bruce and daughter-in-law Cathy, grandchildren Dawn Crabtree, Rob and John Slover, and great-grandchildren Molly and Taylor Crabtree and Sophia Slover, sister Joanne Bertram, and all her extended family. A memorial service for Thelma Slover will be held 2 p.m. Friday, October 4, 2013 at Frank & Bright Funeral Home in Flora. Visitation will be held from 1-2 p.m. on Friday at the funeral home.

10872	There are people who can walk into a room and light it up without even trying. Curtis Martin Thom was one of those people. He was sharp and successfulyesbut more than anything, he was fun. The kind of fun that pulls people in. The kind thats infectious, uncontainable, unforgettable. His one-of-a-kind life ended unexpectedly on May 18, 2025, when he passed at the age of 55. Born on July 27, 1969, in Charleston, IL, Curtis spent his early years in Robinson, where his brilliance was already on display. He was an excellent student and an all-around good kidrespectful, responsible, the kind of boy teachers remembered for all the right reasons. He earned the rank of Eagle Scout, a testament to his dedication and sense of purpose even as a young man. But Curtis wasnt just disciplinedhe was dynamic, too, with a natural stage presence that shone when he played the title role in Lincoln Trail Colleges spring musical production of Oliver! He graduated from Robinson High School, where he developed a lifelong passion for tennisa game he not only played but followed with enthusiasm, attending Grand Slam events around the world. Curtis went on to earn his Accounting degree from the University of Illinois, passing the CPA exam immediately after graduation. He began his career with Price Waterhouse, followed by a position at Pitney Bowes. But his ambitions didnt stop there. Curtis earned his MBA from the University of Chicago and stepped into the fast-paced world of investment banking. Over the years, Curtis worked with firms across the countryEveren Investment Firm in Chicago, Adams Hartness Hill in Boston, and Sanders Morris Harris in Houston, which eventually relocated him to San Francisco. He later moved to Dana Point, CA, where he joined Roth Capital Partners. Through all the ups and downs, Curtis lived big. He traveled throughout Europe. Made lifelong friends on every coast. Poured himself into the work he loved. And most of all, he adored being a dad. His proudest role wasnt in a boardroom or on a business cardit was being Graysons dad. That was the role that brought out the deepest part of his heart. Curtis was fun-loving and magnetic. He had a gift for friendship and a generosity of spirit that made you feel like you belonged. Whether it was cheering at his cousins games, sharing laughs over lunch, or lighting up a room with his signature grinCurtis made an impression that lasted. Thats what will stay with ushis joy, his presence, and the way he made the world feel a little brighter. He is survived by his beloved son, Grayson Thom; his mother & step-father, Gloria & Bill Maxedon; his father & step-mother, Greg & Ruth Thom; his aunts & uncles, Mary Jane & Mike Parker and Brenda & Larry Long; and his cousins, Wesley & wife Jennifer Parker (along with their children, Ely, Julian, and Lenox) and Matthew & wife Jonie Parker (and their children, Gunnar and Jade).

Thelma Louise Slover, age 87, of Flora, Illinois, passed away Tuesday, October 1, 2013.

Born July 17, 1926 to Rex and Zora Kitley.

Thelma survived in good humor the Great Depression and World War II. Although she graduated from Roosevelt High in St. Louis, she considered her friends in the Flora High Class of 1944 to be her true graduating class.

While waiting for husband-to-be John Slover to return from the war, she engaged in her own war effort at McQuay Norris, supervising an assembly line of 13 "girls" building nose cones for bombs. Like Rosie the Riveter, when the war was over, so was her job. Jobs for women were scarce, but she soon found employment with the American Red Cross.

Thelma married her own personal war hero in 1946.

In later years, she was the girl Friday to the joint real estate and insurance offices of Bob Garrison and Lyman Bottorff, where, in addition to those considerable duties, she also kept the City's books and operated the Western Union telegraph. She later became an officer of the Flora Savings and Loan Association, from which she eventually retired.

Thelma never shied from trying something new. In school, it was basketball and skating; later, it was dance classes, ice skating, archery, horseback riding, water skiing, and even downhill skiing. She once considered, but drew the line at, skydiving and bungee jumping.

Nothing put the light in Thelma's eyes more than being around her family, especially her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She loved to hear their stories and share their joys.

She will be sadly missed by all who survive her: husband John, son Bruce and daughter-in-law Cathy, grandchildren Dawn Crabtree, Rob and John Slover, and great-grandchildren Molly and Taylor Crabtree and Sophia Slover, sister Joanne Bertram, and all her extended family.

A memorial service for Thelma Slover will be held 2 p.m. Friday, October 4, 2013 at Frank & Bright Funeral Home in Flora.

Visitation will be held from 1-2 p.m. on Friday at the funeral home.

Memorials are suggested to the Clay County Cancer Support Group and will be accepted at the funeral home.

There are people who can walk into a room and light it up without even trying. Curtis Martin Thom was one of those people. He was sharp and successfulyesbut more than anything, he was fun. The kind of fun that pulls people in. The kind thats infectious, uncontainable, unforgettable. His one-of-a-kind life ended unexpectedly on May 18, 2025, when he passed at the age of 55.

Born on July 27, 1969, in Charleston, IL, Curtis spent his early years in Robinson, where his brilliance was already on display. He was an excellent student and an all-around good kidrespectful, responsible, the kind of boy teachers remembered for all the right reasons. He earned the rank of Eagle Scout, a testament to his dedication and sense of purpose even as a young man. But Curtis wasnt just disciplinedhe was dynamic, too, with a natural stage presence that shone when he played the title role in Lincoln Trail Colleges spring musical production of Oliver! He graduated from Robinson High School, where he developed a lifelong passion for tennisa game he not only played but followed with enthusiasm, attending Grand Slam events around the world.

Curtis went on to earn his Accounting degree from the University of Illinois, passing the CPA exam immediately after graduation. He began his career with Price Waterhouse, followed by a position at Pitney Bowes. But his ambitions didnt stop there. Curtis earned his MBA from the University of Chicago and stepped into the fast-paced world of investment banking. Over the years, Curtis worked with firms across the countryEveren Investment Firm in Chicago, Adams Hartness Hill in Boston, and Sanders Morris Harris in Houston, which eventually relocated him to San Francisco. He later moved to Dana Point, CA, where he joined Roth Capital Partners.

Through all the ups and downs, Curtis lived big. He traveled throughout Europe. Made lifelong friends on every coast. Poured himself into the work he loved. And most of all, he adored being a dad. His proudest role wasnt in a boardroom or on a business cardit was being Graysons dad. That was the role that brought out the deepest part of his heart.

Curtis was fun-loving and magnetic. He had a gift for friendship and a generosity of spirit that made you feel like you belonged. Whether it was cheering at his cousins games, sharing laughs over lunch, or lighting up a room with his signature grinCurtis made an impression that lasted. Thats what will stay with ushis joy, his presence, and the way he made the world feel a little brighter.

He is survived by his beloved son, Grayson Thom; his mother & step-father, Gloria & Bill Maxedon; his father & step-mother, Greg & Ruth Thom; his aunts & uncles, Mary Jane & Mike Parker and Brenda & Larry Long; and his cousins, Wesley & wife Jennifer Parker (along with their children, Ely, Julian, and Lenox) and Matthew & wife Jonie Parker (and their children, Gunnar and Jade).
