Margia Thomas

Margia Lee Thomas, 90, of Bismarck, Arkansas, passed away Sunday, June 13, 2021, surrounded by her family.  She was born December 27, 1930 in St. Louis, Missouri as the first of three girls to William and Wilma Bauer.

As a proud military wife, Margia lived in such places as Hawaii, Panama and California before finally settling in Arkansas in 1971.  She and her husband loved going to the VFW where she enjoyed playing pool, bingo and dancing.  Her children were her priority and she was always cheering Chans on at his sporting events.
