Jean Thomas was appointed as Regional Supervisor for Region 6 in 1958. She served as Plant Chair for the 1963 Region 6 Meeting, hosted by the Houston Hemerocallis Society.
In the 1977 Winter Region 6 Newsletter, Mrs. Hugh A. "Lula Mae" Purnell wrote in the article ONCE UPON A TIME, Time Marches On:
"Mrs. Mel Thomas was the lucky Region 6 Supervisor over all this beauty, fun, and fellowship of this wonderful Convention - and on top of that, to have her beautiful city block garden on tour. The daylilies had a beautiful setting under the huge Oak trees. Jean Thomas had only grown daylilies since 1953, but now had hundreds of the newest and finest with easily read labels. The many outstanding companion plants, such as the 40 foot bed of Leopard Plant, the gorgeous Agapanthus, Creole Lilies, Crinums, and Centifolium, and the extra large Hoya in the hot house will ever remain a beautiful memory. Mrs. Thomas was the last to be known as Region 6 Supervisor."
