Cynthia Jones Thompson

Cynthia Jones Thompson, 71, of Clover, South Carolina, passed away on Saturday, November 7, 2026, at her home.

A graveside service to celebrate Cynthia's life will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Friday, November 13, 2026, at Stanly Gardens of Memory, with Pastor Stacy Sanders officiating.

Cynthia was born on February 22, 1955, in Charlotte, North Carolina, to the late Agnes Crump Jones and the late John Jones. In addition to her parents, Cynthia was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Ronald Clay Thompson; her daughter, Rebekah Carlyon; and her brother, Harry Jones.

She dedicated much of her life to caring for others through her career in healthcare, retiring after many years of service with the Lutheran Services Carolinas. During those years, she touched many lives through her work and developed lasting friendships with her colleagues.

Cynthia had a wonderful love for crafting and creating things with her hands. Whether painting, building, or simply tinkering with a new project, she enjoyed putting her creativity to work. Hobby Lobby was one of her favorite places, and she was always eager to find supplies and inspiration for her next creation.

Although Cynthia could be somewhat reserved when first meeting someone, those who took the time to know her discovered a woman with an incredibly big heart. She was caring, generous, and willing to help others. Once she welcomed someone into her life, her warmth and genuine personality shone through. Her family and those closest to her will remember her for the love she shared and the many ways she cared for the people around her.

She is survived by her son, Phillip Thompson and wife, Jessica, of Clover, South Carolina; four grandchildren, Brentley Thompson, Taylen Thompson, Graham Tucker and his fiancée, Erin Clark, and Sophie Tucker; and her brother, Dan Jones and wife, Joyce, of Asheville, North Carolina.

Wilkinson Funeral Home is honored to serve the Thompson family.
