Josephine Thomas - 84
Of Barney, Georgia, formerly of Valdosta, passed away today, November 2, 2012 at the home of her son, Larry Thomas, where she resided and was cared for until her passing. She was born October 9, 1928 in Perry, Florida to the late Willie and Eliza Morgan McNeice. Along with her parents she was preceded in death by her husband, Lawrence Thomas of Valdosta, Georgia, and her brothers and sisters.
Though not a current member of a church, she had recently given her heart to The Lord Jesus Christ and was gloriously baptized in a memorable intimate service in her hospital room at South Georgia Medical Center on August of this year. Her grandson, Lawrence Thomas, Pastor of NEW CONVENANT in Tifton, Georgia, had the honor of conducting the Special Baptism Service accompanied by family and even some of the staff and nurses. We wish to express our gratitude to them for the respect and support they gave in adding to our celebration.
She and her late husband, Lawrence, operated a small country store " LAWRENCE THOMAS GROCERY & SERVICE STATION" and Paint & Body Shop located on Lakeland Highway, Valdosta, where they lived and raised their children until his passing. She later retired from LEVI STRAUSS CO after many years. She enjoyed sewing, making baby doll clothes, and working in her yards and flowers.
