After an unexpected medical event and courageous battle, April Thompson Glass, a long-time resident of Mobile, AL, passed away on Thursday, June 13th, 2024, at 55 years of age. A service celebrating April’s life will be held at Forest Hill Church of God, 5508 Moffett Rd., Mobile, Alabama, on Thursday, June 20th. Visitation will begin at 11 a.m. and the service will follow at 12 p.m. Pastor Daniel Blaylock will conduct the service. April was born on September 26th, 1968, in Jones County Community Hospital in Laurel, MS. She graduated from Murrah High School in 1987. After graduation she moved to Mobile, AL to attend the University of South Alabama. While in college she worked at a local restaurant, Cock of the Walk. It was here that she would meet her future husband, Mark Glass. The couple wed on April 22nd, 1995, at First Baptist Church of Jackson. The couple resided in Mobile, where April would continue her career in the restaurant business. She would become the manager for a local favorite, The Original Oyster House. Years later, Mark and April would embark on another venture when they helped to establish a new company, Freedom Quest. In recent years April was the General Manager at another Mobile favorite, The Royal Scam. No matter what April’s job title she was always known to be hard working, reliable, and thoughtful. Together the couple have three children. Mark Ellis, Hayden, and Lily, along with their two pups, Charlie and Lucy completed the Glass family. April enjoyed cooking, her pecan pie was a favorite at Thanksgiving, decorating for the Christmas holiday, and watching Alabama football. However, her greatest joy in life was time spent with her family on the water. In the final days of her life on earth, April was surrounded by friends and family that loved her fiercely. Her mother, Ms. Joanie Thompson, and her husband, Mark, did not leave her side. While her family mourns that she will no longer be here with us on this side of Heaven, we have faith that she is now in the loving arms of our Lord and Savior. “But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers and sisters, about those who have died, so that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope. For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have died.” 1 Thessalonians 4:13-14 April is preceded in death by her grandparents, Mr. And Mrs. Ellis Holloway from Soso, MS and Mr. and Mrs. Percy Powell Thompson Sr. from Jackson, MS; her father, Mr. Percy Powell Thompson Jr. of Jackson; and father-in-law, Mr. Bobby Lewis Glass of Mobile. She is survived by her husband, Mark Edward Glass; two sons Mark Ellis Glass (Skylar), Hayden Powell Glass both of Mobile; daughter Lily Rebecca Glass of Mobile; mother Joanie Holloway Thompson of Jackson, MS; mother and father in law Bob and Becky Warren of Mobile; two sister in laws Renee Glass Wilson (Ricky) of Adairsville, GA, Melanie Glass Wyble (Stephen) of Mobile; and numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins.
