Annie was employed as a cook and a homemaker for several years in Ocala, she was a great fisherman and loved spending time with her family and friends.
For 94 years, she toiled on this earthly plane, seeking to serve and honor God's holy name, and though her body became weakened and faded, her spirit remained strong, in faith and love unafraid.
When I come to the end of my journey on earth, and my mortal body returns to the earth, I know that my soul will soar to new birth, In the arms of the Lord, where love and joy have no dearth.

Thomas; sons, Leander Dawson and Willie Thomas, Jr.; daughters, Brenda Dawson, Cynthia Thomas, and Lila Mae Thomas; siblings, Leroy Autry, Cleroy Autry, Warren Autry, Wilson Smith, Barbara Starkes, Lillie Mae Chatman and Adell Autry.
