Madge Craft Thomasson, 95, of Newberry, died Monday, June 17, 2019, at Springfield Place in Newberry.
Born on December 7, 1923 in Greenville, she was the daughter of the late Robert Pressley and Ella Mae Whitmire Craft. She was predeceased by her husband, Edward A "Tommy" Thomasson.
Mrs. Thomasson was a very loving and giving lady. She enjoyed a simple life, never wanting attention and fanfare. She had a gift for cooking, in fact she cooked many delicious foods without using a recipe. She made "out of this world" cherry yum yum and peanut butter chocolate cake.
