Mrs. Thomas was born October 03, 1921 in Cramerton, N.C. daughter of the late Sam Lowery Robinson and Ella McAlpine Robinson. She was a devoted member of Wynnbrook Baptist Church, where she faithfully served as a pre-school Sunday school teacher for decades. She also taught pre-school at various private schools through the years. Mrs. Thomas was a kind lover of little children and beloved by many friends. She was a faithful Christian and leaves an inspirational legacy of walking with God. She was known affectionately as Mama T. to her family and "Miss Margaret" to her church friends. She will be remembered for her sense of humor and as an instigator of fun and laughter. Her witty way was unmatched!

The family would like to thank all of her care providers on the PCS floor of St. Francis Hospital and at Columbus Hospice. Their compassion and attentive care gave us immeasurable comfort! We would also like to thank the wonderful care providers at Gentiva Home Health Service for their excellent medical care and above and beyond service.
