Hammond and served in a number of capacities, including the building

of the Daughters of the American Revolution, the Hammond Garden Club and 
the Altrusa Club. She was affectionately known by many in Hammond as 
"Mama T." She also traveled extensively throughout the United States and 
Europe. She was born in Natchez, Miss., and made her home in Brookhaven, 
Miss., before moving to Hammond in 1956 with her former husband, T. Melton 
Thurman. In addition to her daughters, Mrs. Thurman is survived by her 
brother, Donald Rushing of Scio, Ore.; and four grandchildren, Melanie 
Harper Jarreau, Heather Adams Sullivan, Jonathan Adams and Jennifer Adams 
Teague; and three great-grandchildren, Reaghan Jarreau, Anna Adams and Eli 
Adams, all residents of the Hammond area. Mrs. Thurman was preceded in 
death by her parents, Ida and Ernest Rushing of Brookhaven; and a brother, 
Robert Rushing of Slidell. Visitation will be held at First Baptist Church 
of Hammond on Sunday, Oct. 27, 2002, from 1 p.m. until a memorial service
