  Geneva L. Thoma, formerly of Boonville, died Thursday, Dec. 29, 2005, at Cooper County Hospital. She was 96. Mrs. Thoma was born Feb. 4, 1909, in Sedalia to Emma Etta Oswald and Charles Preston Lewis. She was a graduate of Smith-Cotton High School in Sedalia and completed one year at Dunkel Business in Boonville. She married Maurice Russell Thoma on Sept. 21, 1931. She worked as a secretary for the president of the Corn Cob Pipe factory in Boonville. She and her husband also owned Thomas Standard Drug. Mrs. Thoma worked at Medical Art Pharmacy as a bookkeeper until her late 80s. “She gave of herself to the community,” said Kenneth L. Rall, Mrs. Thoma’s son-in-law. “She was very family-oriented.” Mrs. Thoma served as a Girl Scout leader and as a leader in 4-H activities. She and her husband raised and showed horses competitively. Mrs. Thoma was named a Grand Matron, the highest level of the Boonville Chapter of the Order of the Eastern Star. In her free time, Mrs. Thoma enjoyed playing bridge, gardening and reading nonfiction. “She was a very doting and caring mother and grandmother,” said Susie Thoma, Mrs. Thoma’s daughter-in-law. “Geneva never took a pill her whole life. She outlived her brothers and sisters by 20 years.” Mrs. Thoma is survived by one son, Robert Maurice Thoma of Boonville; seven grandchildren and 16 great-grandchildren. Her husband and a daughter, Sara Belle Rall, died earlier. No visitation is planned and the burial will be private.
