Belmont K. Thomason

Belmont was born March 26, 1914 in Spencer, NC to Durward Belmont Kizziah and Frances Bowman Kizziah. She was a member of Myers Park United Methodist Church, the Ruth Fisher Sunday School class and Myers Park Country Club. A lover of flowers and décor, Belmont served on the MPUMC Altar Guild for over 30 years. She also volunteered for many years at Presbyterian Hospital as part of their Auxiliary Services.

She is survived by her son, Durward Thomason of Charlotte; grandson, Durward Thomason, Jr. (Carla) of Longs, SC; and niece, Jean C. Guyton of Bladenboro, NC. Her husband, H.V. (Tommy) Thomason, preceded her in death in July 1987.

A service to celebrate Belmont’s life will be held at 2:00 p.m. Wednesday, October 23rd at Myers Park United Methodist Church, 1501 Queens Road, with the Reverend Dr. James Howell officiating. The family will receive friends at the church following the service.
