"Mary Virginia Thompson Gann, age 66 of Douglasville, passed away Wednesday, August 24, 2016. She was born on November 9, 1949 in Savannah, Georgia, the daughter of the late Joseph Cleon Thompson and the late Mildred Lucille “Millie” West Thompson. Mary was a 1967 graduate of Douglas County High School. She received a Bachelor’s Degree in Middle School Education (Summa Cum Laude) in 1990 from Georgia State University. She taught middle school science in Cobb County for several years before her lengthy career with the Douglas County School System from which she was the Teacher of the Year in 2011 at Mason Creek Middle School—the same year she retired. She was a member of the Lithia Springs Methodist Church but has attended Crossroads Church in Douglasville for the past ten years or more. Mary enjoyed travelling and going to the beach with her family. She also loved reading, snorkeling but, most of all she loved spending time with her grandkids and her family.
