BLessings to each of you

Q: What was Wanetta really good at?
A: Ms. Thompson was good at many things. Teaching, dancing, making you laugh…. But one thing that really sticks out to me was her ability to encourage those around her. Between taking her chemistry classes in high school and working alongside her 10 years later, there were countless times when she pushed me to do things that I didn’t feel capable of doing. If it weren’t for her constant support and encouragement, I don’t know how I would’ve survived my first 2 years of teaching and planning proms. She was our rock. She was always there to help and uplift everyone she came into contact with. Her smile, laugh and positivity radiated through the halls of Dickson High School. She was always one of the first people you saw as soon as you walked through the front doors. She always greeted you with a smile. She always shared her Coke Zero and snacks. She did everything possible to make you feel loved and welcome.
Our sweet Ms. T was one of a kind… completely irreplaceable… and loved by so many.
I love and miss you, my friend. Thank you for being such a wonderful mentor to me. I am so thankful for all of the memories! ❤️

Q: What will you never forget about Wanetta?
A: Coach T stepped in to the Dickson Cheer program my sophomore year of high school and I can’t begin to explain the God send she was. In a time our cheer team was left confused and broken she stepped in and taught us what a true leader looks like. I will be eternally grateful for our shared memories and tons of laughs. From camps and practices to my last game as a high school cheerleader and graduation, she was a steady rock through it all. My favorite memory is from my senior year when I was Coach T’s office aide. We had just gotten the basketball homecoming crown in and I had put it on so she could decide if she liked it. Later that summer after I had graduated she called me and asked me to come to kippers because she had a “suprise.” I pulled up and she came to my car with a little white box with a red ribbon and said, “well, open it.” In the box was a little tiara ring. She told me that I would always be her homecoming Queen. We have giggled about that little ring for years but it has always been a symbol of her support for me and all the students she came in contact with.
We will miss you so much, Wan.

I am so proud to have been Wanetta’s sister. The outpouring of love and support from so many people speaks volumes about the way she lived her dash (google the Dash Poem). I love you sister and I am so heartbroken. I already miss you so much.

Some of our favorite memories over the past 6 years are of spending our weekends at gymnastics competitions and rotating sessions with Wanetta. She was funny & gracious & thoughtful. And she was so wonderful with her gymnastics kiddos. Such an inspiration to everyone! The gymnastics community across the state of Oklahoma will forever remember Coach Wanetta and will miss her dearly.
