Colette Thomas Obituary
She was born July 24, 1960 in Mora, MN., to parents: Russell Ernest and Leella Mae Thomas. Colette graduated from Pine City High School, class of 1978. Throughout the years she did factory work, but her heart was in caregiving. She had her own daycare for many years. When she moved on from daycare, she decided to pursue being a PCA. She absolutely loved the people she cared for. Colette liked to fish, go camping, cook/bake, canning, crochet, knit, play yahtzee (she was very good at it!), but most of all she loved spending time with friends and family. Her children and grandchildren were what she called "her life".
Colette is survived by her parents: Russell Ernest Thomas and Leella Mae Thomas; daughter: Dalaena Baillargeon (Torrey Winger); 2 sons: Larry (Katrina) Mills and Calvin Jensen; 5 grandchildren: Jaidynn and Diesel Baillargeon, and Harper, Hunter, and Renae Lenore Mills; 2 sisters: Denise (Bruce) Pals, Gwen Thomas (Mike Baker).
She was preceded in death by her brother, Philip Thomas.
A Celebration of Colette's Life will be 2 p.m. - Friday June 17, 2022 at First Evangelical Lutheran Church 1000 South Jay Avenue, Rush City, MN, 55069. Visitation will be 1 hour prior to the service at the church. Arrangements are with Sorensen-Root-Thompson Funeral Home & Cremation Services in Aitkin.
