Robin S. Thomas, age 65, passed away peacefully on January 13, 2026. She was born on July 15, 1960, in Buffalo, New York, to Russell and Dana (Lewis) Thomas.

Robin was a 1977 graduate of Lafayette High School in Buffalo and later earned her associate degree from Bryant & Stratton College. Later in life, she relocated to Canton, Ohio, where she spent more than ten years of service as the business office manager at St. Luke Lutheran Community.

A generous and caring individual, Robin loved volunteering as a group leader for Vacation Bible School at Westbrook Park Church. She had a deep appreciation for nature and found peace and relaxation spending time outdoors. Robin was well known for her love of gardening, crafting, and traveling. She especially cherished trips to the beach with her daughter and camping adventures at Presque Isle State Park in Erie, Pennsylvania. An animal lover at heart, Robin held a special affection for her cats at home.

She was preceded in death by her father, Russell Thomas; her grandparents, Daniel and Dorothea Lewis; her aunt and uncles, Joan and Ralph Ferrel and Jeanette and Joe Mariano; and her sister-in-law, Connie Thomas.

Those left to cherish her memory include her mother, Dana Thomas; her daughter, Danielle Thomas; her brothers, Russell Thomas and Michael Thomas; as well as her nieces and nephew.

Visitation will be held on Thursday, January 22, 2026, from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., followed by a memorial service at 7:00 p.m., officiated by Pastor Ed Barnes, at Kreighbaum-Sanders Funeral Home, 4041 Cleveland Avenue South, Canton, Ohio 44707.
