Danny Clifton Thomas, 67, lifetime resident of New Albany, passed away Sunday, September 24, 2023, following an extended illness.
Funeral services honoring the life of Mr. Thomas will be Wednesday, September 26, 2023, in the Memory Chapel of New Albany Funerals and Cremations with Bro. Robert Hogue officiating. Burial will follow in the Wallerville Cemetery.
