Gemesha Ann Thomas, 17, of Lee's Summit, Missouri, passed away on September 29, 2017. She was born into this world on July 25, 2000 to proud parents, LaToya Marks Thomas and Jimmie E. Thomas. Gemesha began her education in the Wichita USD 259 School District until her mother relocated to Raytown, Missouri, where she attended both Little Blue Elementary and Raytown Middle School. She completed her middle school education Campbell Middle School in Lee's Summit, Missouri and was in her senior year at Lee's Summit North High School. Gemesha was gainfully employed at Sonic's Drive In where she was loved and respected dearly. Her personality was infectious. Everywhere she went she left her "fangrance".
