Annie Jo LeMaster was called to eternal rest on February 24, at the age of 81. She was born in Pike County, on February 8, 1944, the daughter of Claude and Mildred Thompson. She graduated from McComb High School and continued her education at the McComb Cosmetology School. Ann was a talented hairdresser for over 40 years and her dedicated customers became her family and lifelong friends.

In 1963 Ann married the love of her life Robert "Bob" LeMaster and together they raised 2 daughters (Kim and Melissa) and 1 son (Robby) and built several successful family businesses: Hairstyles by Ann, LeMaster Portable Signs, LeMaster Washateria, and LeMaster Locksmith Service.

Ann was a loving wife, mother, and grandmother who cherished her family dearly. Her hobbies were cooking, gardening and shopping. She accepted Christ at an early age and trusted in God until her death. Ann was an active member of South McComb Baptist Church for over 40 years and later in life joined the family of West McComb Baptist Church.

She was preceded in death by her parents; 2 brothers, Robert and Larry Thompson; and sister Peggy Magee.

She is survived by her husband Bob LeMaster; her 3 children: Kim LeMaster, Melissa Moak (Rusty), and Robby LeMaster; and grandchildren: Austin Rushing, Amber Snow, Alayna Moak, Cameron Bedell, and Bella LeMaster.

Relatives and friends are invited to celebrate her life Friday, February 28, at Hartman Jones Funeral Home with visitation beginning at 12PM and funeral services at 2PM.

Pallbearers will be Louis Lombas, Louie Lombas, Austin Rushing, Nic Thompson, Brayden Rushing, and Ethan Topper.
