Martha Jane (James) Thomas, 78, returned home to glory on Thursday 21 of Nov., at her home in Decatur. She was a loving mother, who enjoyed spending time with family and friends.
Ms. Thomas was born and raised in Cullman, Ala. She was a veteran of the U.S. Navy, retired from GE, and was a faithful member of Danville Rd Church of Christ.
Daughter of Alexander and Iva (Waddell) James, youngest sibling to four sisters and one brother.
She leaves behind to cherish her memory, a son, Mark Thomas; a daughter, Carla (Jeff) Thomas Pearsall; her sister, Peggy Sanford of Miss.; life long friend, John I Thomas; and a host of nieces, nephews, friends, and her beloved Bella.
Her family and friends will celebrate her life on Dec. 7 at 2 p.m. in Delano Park, Decatur. We encourage all who knew her to come and celebrate her life with loving memories and stories.
The Thomas family requests on behalf of their mother that in the place of flowers, please make a donation in Ms. Thomas’s name to the Alzheimer’s Association online at act.alz.org/donate. Please help fight to eradicate this devastatingly, heartbreaking disease. Give, so we may fight for the first survivor.
