Mary Aleo Thomas, 57, passed away suddenly on Thursday, September 10, 2026.
She never met a stranger and if you were one, you probably didn’t stay one for long. She never allowed a challenge to get the best of her. Bright, vibrant, loving, and considerate, Mary A.Thomas (Mimi) genuinely enjoyed people. She could strike up a conversation almost anywhere, loved a good laugh, and had a way of making those around her feel included.

Celebrate the life of Mary Thomas, leave a kind word or memory and get funeral service information care of Whitten Monelison Chapel.
